Page 3 beauty Danielle Mason has revealed was almost reduced to tears after rioters attacked the Cenotaph in central London, which commemorates those who tragically lost their lives in the war.
The blonde babe, who is the half-sister of EastEnders legend Jessie Wallace, says she can’t understand why people would want to hit out at those who fought for the country’s freedom.
Last weekend a peaceful protest of thousands of people as part of the Black Lives Matter campaign ended in riots breaking out in White Hall outside Downing Street, carrying on late into the night.
Video footage circulating online saw police and rioters locked in a bitter standoff in which Winston Churchill’s statue in Parliament Square was vandalised with graffiti, while attempts had been made to set the Union Jack hanging from the Cenotaph alight.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, Danielle said: “I want everyone to live in peace and harmony.
“Sadiq Khan is rubbish he doesn’t protect London as a whole – right now he is causing more problems.”
Explaining how she was left close to tears after seeing war memorials vandalised, Danielle continued: “People are protecting statues and they are being called racists which isn’t fair. They are not.
“They are protecting Great Britain’s history and people who fought in the war.
“It really upset me how war memorials are being treated.
“It is like a slap in the face for the old people who fought in the war for our freedom.”

The outspoken model continued: “To me, the rioters are not peaceful protestors, they are simply rioters.
“They are people are trying to cause trouble.
“I’m not a racist in any way, I love every one of any colour very dearly but people are now some people are using the protests to riot and it’s unfair.”
On Friday morning tensions escalated further after London Mayor Khan decided to cover the statue of Winston Churchill inside a large box to protect it ahead of planned protests from a range of groups in the capital this weekend.

The Cenotaph has also been boxed off with protective cladding for the first few meters.
A statement released by Khan said: “I stand with the millions of people around the world who are saying loud and clear that Black Lives Matter.
“Londoners of all ages, races and backgrounds have been coming together to protest racial injustice and structural racism.
“It is clear that the majority of the protestors have been peaceful.
“However, I’m extremely concerned that future protests in central London not only risk spreading Covid-19 but could lead to disorder, vandalism and violence.”
