The event was supposed to give Mr Livingstone a chance to meet stallholders as well as encourage shoppers to use their first vote for him and their second for Green Party candidate Si‚n Berry.

But no sooner had Mr Livingstone and Ms Berry arrived, accompanied by TV presenter June Sarpong, than the first Tory supporter turned up heckling him and waving a "Back Boris" placard.

Adozen more Tories in T-shirts then tried to obscure Green Party and Ken Livingstone posters with images of Mr Johnson.

Green Party Assembly member Jenny Jones tried to intervene but was pushed out of the way. Several Green Party members tried to block the Tory supporters and amid shoving, Mr Livingstone's walkabout was cut short.

He today said if he was re-elected Ms Berry would be given a job looking at not only the environment but also ways to improve life for small businesses.

They had handed out leaflets stressing their green credentials and discrediting those of their opponents Mr Johnson and Brian Paddick.

The flyers were emblazoned with six green policies:

Support for the Kyoto Treaty.

£25 congestion charge for gasguzzlers.

Rolling out the Low Emission Zone to cut pollution from lorries.

Opposing airport expansion.

Half of new homes to be affordable.

Maintaining the current congestion charge zone.

They then attacked their opponents claiming Mr Johnson is opposed to all of them while Mr Paddick would only implement two of them.
