kennett Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I was there as an 11 year old! I stuck it to the man and threw a snack pork pie at Downing Street as we passed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) As I wrote in the other topic, I too was there! Bloody knackered when we got home though! Has anyone noticed how they can walk all day, for example on a walked up shooting day, but standing around then shuffling along a mile or two marching on the streets of London was very tiring? I got presented with a badge by and had a chat with William Evans staff who were mingling with the marchers, and remember all the folk on balconies and doorsteps clapping, cheering, waving and generally wishing the marchers well!.......Yes a great atmosphere, pity the government didn't "listen to us" Still got the official badges from both the Rally and the March somewhere?

McSpredder Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Yes, I was there. Also went to the earlier Hyde Park Rally, travelled on a coach from Abington (Lanarkshire) and had hours of fascinating conversation because I was sitting next to Brian Plummer the terrier expert. What a character. There must be plenty of PW members who remember him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Yes me too and for the one after. I will never forget the feeling and the sound of what seemed to be a cloud moving over the thousands of country folk as somewhere someone started a HALLO. Made the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Simply awesome. Oh and the hand full of RSPCA anti's. Just sank into total insignificance like a pebble on the beach.
