Eleven have been charged, Scotland Yard said Monday. The suspects, aged between 30 and 57, will appear in various courts around the British capital in the coming weeks. — Paisley Dodds — Twitter http://twitter.com/paisleydodds ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.

Members of the military sit in unoccupied sponsors seats during the artistic gymnastics team qualification at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London on Sunday July 29, 2012. Organizing chief Sebastian Coe says troops and local students will be given tickets to fill empty seats at Olympic venues. There has been widespread criticism after blocks of prime seats went unused Saturday, largely by Olympic and sports officials. Coe, head of the London organizers, predicts this will be sorted out as the games go forward. (AP Photo/Anthony Devlin, PA) UNITED KINGDOM OUT; NO SALES; NO ARCHIVE
