Bob Geldof!!

Setting off now. Will be at Hilton at 12:30 if anyone is still there

We're here! Lovely weather, fab atmosphere, everyone very cheery and friendly. Looks like it's going to be a great day!

It’s busy!

Loads of flags and ‘Bollocks to Brexit’ stickers 😂

Gah, Have just approached wrong group with my toothbrush . Am at telephone box.

covering it ?? so what, it will change nothing - what is the point of this other than a vague feeling of solidarity amongst the marchers

these things have been done before, make not a jot of difference

Sorry we missed you. It’s huge! Lots of people static in Park Lane because so many people joining en route. Great atmosphere!

670,000 people are marching in London for a People's vote.

It will (a) show the world that many people in the UK don't support Brexit; (b) show our own country and government how many people are not behind Brexit; (c) demonstrate to our children and grandchildren that we cared enough to protest against Brexit...
I expect marchers will experience more than a 'vague' feeling of solidarity. Maybe you've just never felt passionately enough about something to comprehend, thetrees.

670,000 reported. That's 1% of the population marching on the street because of this.

My 11 year old dd loved the sign saying "Fuck this Tory Brexshit". I told her the swearing was permitted in the circumstances.

There are some amazing placards - and loads of very strong teenage girls singing their hearts out. Lots of kids and older people.

And a big wave to the lurking mner who said hi!

Amazing atmosphere. rousing cross party speeches and so many young people. Favourite banner ' The Government can't sort it but the people can!'.

I had to bribe my 9 year old with the promise of swearing bellinisurge. He was really tied and didn't want to come so I reminded him it would be the only time when it would be socially acceptable for him to walk through central London bellowing Bollocks at the top of his voice...

Brilliant march. In June the average age seems ed about 60 but today there were so many more young adults there. Really heartening.

Well done

I couldn't be more proud or more grateful to all 600,000 + thousand of you marching today I could smooch you all

I feel the same Hazard have had my faith in humanity restored today. All emotional!

I used to post here a lot, I stopped posting but continued reading everyday, Westminstenders threads have been my lifeline in the last two and a quarter years. Thank you all, especially Red.

I marched today with my family and it was very emotional, there was a guy holding a placard by one the lions in Trafalgar Sq saying “London remains no matter what” that really made me cry, I am European and a Londoner, and that placard summed up how I feel about this great city
that I call home. So proud that everyone marched peacefully, not one incident among 600.000 people, that says so much!

Poor turn out, despite all the hype and bribery. 600,000 (by their own count) versus 17 million doesn't really wash does it. Hope you had a great day though and feel like you've got some closure.

Huge turnout. I didn't even make it anywhere near Parliament Square as it was full. It was fantastic to see so many young people marching.
