St. Pauls Cathedral: Demo must not stop visitors (AP)

LONDON ? The head of London's landmark St. Paul's cathedral says it is important that tourists and worshippers are not blocked by protesters camped outside.

Several hundred demonstrators gathered outside the cathedral over the weekend as part of the global "Occupy Wall Street" protests and many have stayed on in tents around the cathedral.

The cathedral Dean Graeme Paul Knowles said in a statement Monday that prayer services had continued as normal over the weekend, but the "last few days have not been without various challenges." He says the heavily touristed cathedral's daily life must continue uninterrupted.

Police tried to move protesters away on Sunday but a senior priest, Giles Fraser, said protesters were welcome to stay and asked police officers to move instead.
