MAY DAY marches and rallies continued across Britain today with Palestine solidarity prominent in the traditional celebrations.
Mobilisations took place in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and Salford in Greater Manchester, where Palestine flags and banners marched alongside trade union banners.
In Chesterfield, Dima al-Shami, who was born in Gaza but grew up and lives in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, made an impassioned plea for protests and demands for a ceasefire in Gaza to continue and intensify.
