Thousands of people marched through London on Saturday to protest against Britain leaving the European Union, just four days before Prime Minister Theresa May launches the start of the formal divorce process from the bloc it joined 44 years ago.
The Unite for Europe march was due to end with a rally in Parliament Square, scene of this week's attack by British-born Islam convert Khalid Masood in which four people died.
Marchers observed a minute's silence in memory of the victims at the start of the demonstration.
In bright sunshine, they waved EU flags and banners with slogans like "So what's the Plan?" and "Stop Brexit" as they made their way to parliament.
Another simply said "Happy Birthday EU" in a reference to this weekend's 60th anniversary of the bloc's founding, being commemorated in Rome.
Joss Dennis was one of three coach loads of protesters who had traveled from Bristol in western England, which voted 62 percent to stay in the EU in last June's referendum compared with the national 52-48 percent vote to leave.
"A terrible mistake has been made but the situation is not beyond redemption," she said.
