It was quite a day really. Huge numbers were there (I later found out it was 40,000). Emma Thompson (the actress) joined us (Er, the march, not my family). And with loads of people in animal-based carnival costumes, and a number of bands walking with us, there was often a carnival-like atmosphere to the march.
I'm sure the cynics would say the march was made up of hippies, tree-huggers, conspiracy theorists, and nut-jobs, but I didn't get that impression at all. There were a great many ordinary, concerned citizens like us, citizens who just want governments to stop talking and start acting on climate change.
