Bradford welcomed 18 people from around the world as they completed the latest stage of their march across the UK this afternoon.

The 1,000 mile march is designed to highlight the threat of climate change, with marchers coming from a variety of nations, including Brazil, Kenya and Tajikhistan.

The walkers were met by members of Christian Aid, Islamic Relief and the public as they entered Centenary Square at around 4pm, having travelled from Leeds this morning.

The marchers started in Belfast, and will finish in London. Bradford marcher Tim Jones, from Saltaire, said: "Everyone is so passionate about this cause - we have eight walkers from developing countries and it is fascinating to hear firsthand about the situations there."

Mohamed Adow, from Kenya, said: "Eighty per cent of the people of Northern Kenya are reliant on aid. We have also had massive flooding, which killed over one hundred people.

"I am here because I want to share the plight of these people with the people of the UK. This is not a future problem. It is happening now."
