HUNDREDS of thousands of protesters across Britain joined campaigners around the world to march for peace and in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

More than 30 protests were organised the length and breadth of the country, from Plymouth to Dumfries, to demand an end to the British arms exports fuelling the Israeli war machine and for a just peace.

Students at the London School of Economics (LSE) who had occupied a portion of the campus to demand the institution cut its ties with Israel were served with a court order to vacate.
