Photos from the Rally and March on
December 19th |
The best photographs of the March were
taken by the North
Devon Journal, as the group members with cameras
were mostly too busy marshaling the March to take many
photographs. |
The assembled crowd
here are listening to Brian Greenslade, who is one of the two Councillors for Pilton. We haven't yet had a demonstration on a nice day, but it hasn't deterred our supporters. |
|
Another view from the back of the crowd. It is often said that most protests are composed of retired people, this has never been the case with our demonstrations, people of all ages are represented. |
|
Here Brian Greenslade is reading out the Safety Instructions before we set off on the March. On his left is Steve Crowther (Chariman of UKIP) and on his right is Sir Nick Harvey, our former Liberal Democrat MP. Ricky Knight (Green Party) was just about to arrive. |
|
It was difficult to photograph the March while participating in it at the same time, but this was near the end, at the entrance to Cross Street...the bulk of the Marchers were behind and out of sight. |
|
Here you can see our drummer, who was near the front of the March. You can also see Pilton Councillor Mair Manuel walking a little behind. |
|
Many people had to leave straight after the finish, but a number stayed and decided to gather over beyond the Mosaic. You can see Ricky Knight over on the right in an appropriately coloured Green jacket. |
|
Another view of the gathering. Quite a few people brought their dogs as well - all of whom were very well behaved. |

Councillor Brian Greenslade after the March. We are very grateful to all the local politicians who came to support us, and they all said they were impressed by the size of our demonstration. |
