Yesterday my wife and I (along with around half a million other people) attended the March for the Alternative, organised on Twitter via the @march26march account.

It was a great day and we didn't see any of the violence that unfortunately broke out after the main peaceful march had concluded.

As you can see from my photos, people from many different services and sections of society came together to make their voices heard.

It is just a shame A) violent people turned up to spoil the party and B) the government has said it will ignore this march and what it stood for.

Have you ever gone on a protest march? What for, and did it make any difference?
