Rule 165You MUST NOT overtake
...
the nearest vehicle to a pedestrian crossing, especially when it has stopped to let pedestrians cross
"(The above should probably say "within the area marked by white zigzag lines" a la: http://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/answers/what-do-the-zigzag-lines-at-the-crossing-mean )
Ignoring the blue/white keep left arrows is a separate offence.
I don't think you are allowed to overtake within the zig-zag lines of a ped crossing whichever side of the carriageway you are on, so technically he got you bang to rights anyway.
