HUNDREDS gathered at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk yesterday to reject the presence of US nuclear weapons in Britain after a report detailed Washington’s plans to deploy warheads across Europe.  

Protesters arrived from Bradford, Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Merseyside with banners opposing Nato, raising them at the airbase’s perimeter fences. 

Veterans from previous struggles including Greenham Common stood alongside those attending an anti-nuclear demonstration for the first time.
