Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of London to demand that the British government take in more refugees.
MPs, actors and others marched on Downing Street on Sunday, calling for more action on the refugee crisis, as thousands of men, women and children continue to drown in desperate attempts to reach Europe.
They began in Park Lane at 12.30 p.m. and marched toward Parliament Square while holding a “Refugees Welcome” banner.
Marchers chanted “Refugees are welcome here” and waved banners reading “No-one is illegal”, “Let’s help people” and “Stop the drowning.”
Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas MP, Labour’s Lord Alf Dubs and Liberal Democrat campaigner Baroness Sheehan delivered lectures on the crisis.
Also, actors Juliet Stevenson, Vanessa Redgrave and Dame Harriet Walter spoke to protesters in Parliament Square and raised concerns about unaccompanied children, who are living in refugee camps in Calais, France.
