Thousands of protesters have marched through central London calling for Britain to rejoin the European Union.
The National Rejoin March on Saturday saw large crowds of people walk from Park Lane to Parliament Square. Marchers from across Britain travelled for hours to attend.
Parliament Square Garden, the last stop on the march for the rally, saw a sea of blue and yellow as supporters waved EU flags and carried placards.
Some signs said: “Brexit was never going to work,” “For lower bills #rejoin the EU” and “We voted romaine.”
Nikki Ajibade, a 60-year-old teacher from Warwickshire, was at the march with her sister.
She said: “We feel very strongly that the situation we’re in now, you can trace it back directly to 2016 referendum, which was supposedly an advisory referendum.
“It wasn’t a supermajority result, 52 and 48 is not something that you can just completely upturn and upend the whole country. Look six years on where we are. So we feel very strongly that we need to get a sensible government in place, general election now, because this lot are squabbling like rats in a sack.”
