THOUSANDS of people marched through the streets of London to demand a referendum on the terms of Brexit.
Organisers of the People’s Vote march estimated in excess of 100,000 people took part in the rally in central London on Saturday.
Lib Dem leader Sir Vince Cable, Green co-leader Caroline Lucas, Labour former NEC member and actor Tony Robinson and pro-EU campaigner Gina Miller were among those who joined the crowd in the capital on the second anniversary of the EU vote.
The start of the march was delayed from noon to 1pm, with demonstrators held on Pall Mall ahead of a march to Parliament Square for a rally outside the Palace of Westminster.
Matthew Mann, originally from south Gloucestershire, who moved to the Netherlands in 2016 for work, said: “I’m here to show what a European looks like.”
But earlier Boris Johnson urged the Prime Minister to deliver a “full British Brexit” as Cabinet colleagues warned the UK is able to walk away without a deal.
International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said the UK was not “bluffing” about being prepared to walk away from talks with Brussels.
