Oxfordshire residents in anti-racism march Together Alliance
The group travelled to the capital city as part of a mass organised demonstration against racism, the far-right and other injustices.
Among the Oxfordshire residents there were Clive Gillam, Steve Dawe, Ines Smyth, Mena Remedios, Hazel Dawe and Fenella Trevillion.
An estimated half a million people gathered in London for “the biggest demonstration ever against the far right”, according to its organisers the Together Alliance.

Protesters carried placards saying “No to racism, no to Trump”, and “Refugees welcome” while marching through the capital to Whitehall.
Speakers included former Labour MP Diane Abbott, who now sits as an independent in Parliament.
She told a cheering crowd: “The turnout today is the largest anti-racist march that I have seen in my lifetime, and you should all be proud of yourselves for coming out in such numbers today.”
