A vigorous Halloween anti-war demonstration in London. Evcellent drumming.
Inventive costumes, with bandages and ghouls. Some fireworks. One BBC
report said 3000, the other said 2000 at the speeches in Parliament Square,
1000 in Whitehall. Whitehall was blocked and although the police tried to
split the demonstration up the pressure of numbers made them give way.
A rehearsal for what would be at least ten times larger on the outbreak of war.
