I had given birth just a few weeks before the Protest March, but my husband I knew we needed to join the protest. We bundled our little baby warmly and marched together with millions. We have a lovely photo of her in the pram surrounded by banners warning that an invasion of Iraq...
Marched to Hyde Park with my husband and my 2 year-old daughter in her pushchair. We had a wonderful day and had the opportunity to listen to some great speakers, including the late Charles Kennedy. It was a truly inspiring place to be and have your voice heard....
A long peaceful protest with people from all origins and levels of society. The protest went all the way to the U.S. embassy. I remember that the reason Bush and Blair (and Fogh Rasmussen for that matter) used to go to war was considered false from day one. In hindsight, the 3 people...

I was a Student Nurse at the time. I travelled to London from Nottingham on a full coach with other marchers. When we were at the motorway services it was obvious that the turnout was going to be massive. I found the whole day very inspiring and emotional to see all the different...
