A GROUP of protesters who took part in a 1983 march for peace in London were reunited by Oxfam today to commemorate one of the largest public demonstrations in British history.

The original event drew a 300,000-strong crowd to Hyde Park for a rally against the presence of nuclear missiles in London.

Among those present at the reunion were Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) general secretary Kate Hudson and Dave Wainwright, one of the original co-ordinators.
