The protest was in response to the uproar over cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, which appeared in some European newspapers. Dr Evan Harris MP, Liberal Democrat human rights spokesman and Peter Tachell were among those who spoke at the event. Organiser Peter Risdon said: "We are in favour of free speech and not against Muslims. They are our neighbours and our friends."

Please note that some placards carry depictions of the danish cartoons. These are being including as a fundamental right of freedom of expression.This is a second warning. If you are offended then please do not proceed.
