So I think the answer to the question "Have marshals got the right to stop people filming and/or taking photos? " is No they haven't.
Having said that E Pumpkin's idea seems the most pragmatic if you feel strongly about the fact that undignified or unsuitable footage is being obtained and I can't really see any way an unaccredited photographer could complain successfully about having his view blocked.
It's not long ago you would go to a music concert and be searched in case you had a camera on you. Tickets were full of legalise about image rights and so on and there were signs in every foyer warning you no photography was allowed. Even accredited photographers were warned by the management "first two songs only"..
Now cameras are ubiquitous, nobody cares and bands even have competitions for "best fan video".
There's no going back so we might as well all get used to it imho.
