| 'Police seem calm' | |
| One eyewitness, Nicole Kyle, was walking home when she saw police head towards Buckingham Palace. | |
| The 25-year-old said: "I was walking toward The Mall and St James's Park when I saw police rush down toward the palace in great numbers. | |
| "As we got further down The Mall we saw armed police outside a police van, at which point we were able to walk closer to the palace still, where we were eventually stopped by a cordon. | |
| "All we were told was that there's been an incident. | |
| "A few minutes later police came by to have us clear the area and move further away from the palace." | |
| Another witness, Natalie Wood, wrote on Twitter: "Police still being called into Buckingham Palace. Everything on lockdown, heavily armed police seem calm." | |
| A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said she would not comment on security issues. |
