Tens of thousands attend Brexit protest march in London

Thousands of people marched through London on the 2 July 2016 to protest against the 23 June 2016 UK referendum decision to leave the EU. This followed similar small scale protests in London and other UK cities in the preceding days.

Demonstrators at the 'March for Europe' rally, organised on social media, held placards saying 'Bremain' and 'We Love EU'.
