Paul King, 26, Ian's son, said he left his pitch selling the Evening Standard at Monument underground station at about 7:00pm.
"We want answers: why? Ian clearly had his arms in his pockets and back towards the police. There is no need for them to step in towards him."(The video) clearly shows that Ian did have an altercation. Now we can say, yes he did. Up until now it has been 'if'. But now we've seen it, we want answers."
Ian Tomlinson: Trying to get home
The death is being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
The footage was reportedly shot by a fund manager from New York who was in London on business.
He said: "The primary reason for me coming forward is that it was clear the family were not getting any answers."
One of the protesters present, a law student called Peter, has told Sky News how he tried to help Mr Tomlinson when he collapsed in a side street.
"I looked up and saw a man in his late-40s stumbling along, he looked unable to walk properly," he said.
"He collided with a door, walked a few more steps and collapsed."
Along with a female friend they went to help. The woman, a third-year medical student, said: "It was almost as if he was clowning around.
"He smelt of alcohol and seemed happy, not distressed, but as we were talking he just stopped responding." She immediately started giving him first aid.
Mr Tomlinson was then rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Well done GazaSol and everyone else for not letting this one drop. If a policeman doesn't go to prison we need a bloody revolution.
