Purported veterans and supporters of the so-called "Freedom convoy" removed fencing protecting the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Saturday.

The fence was erected after multiple incidents were reported in the early days of the demonstration, including urination being found at the site, and at least one person seen dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

A police officer can be seen telling the demonstrators they would be responsible for taking care of the memorial, according to Global News' Abigail Bimman, who was on the ground at the time. Police only moved in once the fence was already down, and cries of "freedom" could be heard from protesters who quickly gathered around the site.
