London marches in EU support, seeks to reverse Brexit

Two days before Prime Minister Theresa May begins the process to leave the European Union, thousands marched on the streets of London on Saturday amid heightened security, demanding the undoing of Brexit or the continuation of benefits of remaining in the EU.

Organised under the forum Unite for Europe, supporters said they were the 48% who voted to remain in the EU during the June 2016 referendum.The protesters, who carried placards and shouted slogans, included many European citizens living in UK

May is due to send the notification under Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty to Brussels on Wednesday. March 25 is the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, which created the European Economic Community.

Several anti-Brexit leaders such as Liberal Democrats leaders Tim Farron and Nick Clegg were due to address the gathering. The party wants a second referendum to be held on the final terms of Brexit decided by the end of March 2019. HTC
