The February 15th March was incredible - the power of people, all united as one. The police and news tried to tell us we were only 100,000, maybe 150,000 tops. But we knew they were lying, as we could feel the extent of our unity, flowing along both north and south embankments, around...
I went with a group of friends on one of the coaches organised by Coventry 'Stop the War' group. We made two huge banners. We were amazed on the way down the M1 at how many coaches were heading to London. Every service Station was packed with coaches. When we arrived at the top of...
Getting up on the morning of 15th February 2003 wasn't easy. A large group of us had been to a ball the night before - a joint celebration, as one of the group had recently turned 21 - and there was no-one to encourage/shake me into rising as - strangely, after a late night that...

I gathered at Warren Street underground station on Tottenham Court Road with a group of friends at around 10am. We marched all day and only made it to Green Park underground station on Piccadilly by 4pm, because there were so many people on the streets. We never made it to the rally, but...

I had just come back from India on feb. 15, with our group of Norwegian and Indian musicians and dancers, ready to make performances in Oslo. We all joined the march, starting at Youngstorget. I have never seen that many people gathered there, before or after. Hege....
I marched in London. Walking down from north London to Shaftesbury avenue, the numbers of people trying to join the march where truly inspiring, If I heard that it was 3 million marching that day I'd believe it. The next day a friend showed me the front page of 'The Sun' newspaper, the headline...
