Travelled down from Scotland. Abiding memory is the vast amount of people on the Embankment and a sea of people as far as you could see in Hyde Park....
I had attended the march the previous autumn - very much better weather! I had also helped set up a local StW group in Thanet, Kent during the interim. A mate and I travelled up by train and got to the front of the march. The numbers involved were totally awesome. So much so...

I marched with a group from Goldsmiths College Students' Union (University of London)....
Some friends and I began a 'Raging Granny' group in the UK. We attended the March and performed along the route. The Times newspaper featured us on that day. I am now writing a novel with the Iraq invasion as the background to the plot....
