Huge crowd turns out in London to demand 'people's vote' on Brexit [View all]


Hundreds of thousands of protesters descended on central London to demand a final say on the terms of the Brexit deal in one of the largest protests against leaving the European Union.

Organisers estimated a crowd of at least 670,000, a much larger turnout than the protests against Donald Trump and the 2011 anti-cuts march.

The People’s Vote march was due to set off at 12pm, but the crowd that gathered at Park Lane only began moving in earnest after 2pm because of the sheer number of people.

The sun was shining brightly while demonstrators blew whistles, shouted and danced their way towards Parliament Square.
