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 have been on many marches but the best thing about this one for me were all the school students who left their schools for the day to join the protest. Many teachers discreetely turned a blind eye although officially it was forbidden. My daughter, then aged 15, marched with her friends with a...

We lived in Bedfordshire at the time, but were staying in Oxford because my husband's father was very ill - in fact, he died on 27th February. We had both intended to march but in the event John had to stay at home to look after his elderly parents. They both agreed very strongly...
