Was a fantastic march. I was there, the speeches were excellant and the march was massive. Heres some photos I took:Thousands of anti-war protesters have gathered in Manchester for what organisers said was "one of the biggest mobilisations outside London". Demonstrators were protesting against Government policies in the Middle East and nuclear weapons, on the eve of the Labour Party conference in the city.
The theme was "Time To Go" - a call to get troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Police estimated 20,000 people took part. Stop The War Coalition had said it had expected about 100,000.
One of the organisers, Yasmin Ataullah of the British Muslim Initiative, told the BBC they put the figures of demonstrators at 40,000 or higher.
