Typical of the protesters in Edinburgh was the Walsh family, who had paid £35 each to come on an overnight bus from Dorset. Francis Walsh, a 62-year-old retired teacher dressed head to toe in white, was there with his daughters Oonagh, 31, Caragh, 26 and granddaughter Lily, 11.
'When we worked out we could just afford it there was no question about whether or not we should come.' he said through a generous moustache. 'It's something Lily will always remember.' from The Sunday Times
It was qutie an emotional day and an absolutely exciting event with a powerful meaning. People from all generations and all backgrounds had united behind this one ideal, which is to make poverty history.
I am very pround of partaking in such an event like this...
