Tens of thousands of people gathered in central London on Saturday for a peaceful protest described as one of the largest ever demonstrations against the far right in the UK.
The march took place amid growing evidence of democratic backsliding under right-wing governments – as highlighted in a report published today by the Civil Liberties Union for Europe.
High-profile figures including actor Sir Lenny Henry, singer Paloma Faith and comedian Steve Coogan were among those taking part in the march, which was organised by the Together Alliance – a coalition of more than 500 organisations campaigning for unity over division.
