The violence escalated when protesters attacked Prince Charles and Camilla's
car as they were travelling to the Royal Variety show.
The Scotland Yard Commissioner praised the police force for the way they
handled a "very unpredictable demonstration."
He said: "The route was thoroughly recced in advance, including up to several
minutes beforehand when the route was still clear.
"The unpredictability of thugs and how they moved about the capital meant the
protection officers were placed in a very difficult position."
Accusations that the police's tactics of using kettling added to the violence
were also dismissed by Stephenson.
