I wanted to come here in memory of my great aunt who stood shoulder

to shoulder with her dear Mrs Pankhurst.

I wanted to come here to show my son, my young son,

that it is important to stand up for what you believe

in and I came here for myself, because there is nothing

so empowering as been surrounded by thousands of others

At the beginning of the 20th century, marches by women

through the streets of London were commonplace in

When I was a young woman, there was a lot of discrimination

I feel like people like Trump want that the clock turned back.

The march to Trafalgar was peaceful and friendly.

Women of all ages were there and men, too.

who just a few weeks ago talked them through delivering their baby -

coldest days so far. The hard frost to come in areas where it stays

clear, parts of East Anglia, the south-east, fog across Scotland, at

West, a change, showers and parts of Wales and England, some snow on high

ground as well. Meanwhile, down under through the early hours, Andy

Murray will be getting ready for his next match in the Australian
