AS BRITAIN was engulfed in World War I commemorations yesterday peace activists held their very own event highlighting the horrors of war and demanding an end to the glorification of bloodshed.

The No Glory in War campaign held an evening rally in Parliament Square to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of a conflict which killed over 20 million people.

Actors Samuel West and Kika Markham performed at the event, followed by a reading of Keir Hardie’s 1914 anti-war speech by Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn.
