Stop the War demo

Yesterday I went to London for the Stop the War demonstration after one of my mates asked me to go. I'd never been to anything like it before and I enjoyed it.

There were loads of short speeches in Trafalgar Square, including one from Tony Benn, before everyone marched around London in support of the removal of foreign troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and the prevention of an attack on Iran. We had to leave London at around 4pm though to get on our coach, and I think I would have liked to stay longer, not just for the demo, but because London is quite an interesting place. I used to live down South when I was younger, and we'd often visit the capital for a day out, and up until yesterday I hadn't been in years, so it was nice to go back.

Also, I got to stand behind C-list celebrity, Nell McAndrew in a queue at a service station we stopped at on the way home.

It's the Easter holidays for me now, so I have three weeks off from uni. Should be good.

Here are a couple of pictures that my mate took at the demo (I really should buy my own camera soon):
