Quakers are joining a day of worship, prayer and nonviolent resistance to the Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair in East London, the largest arms fair in the world, on 5 September.

A spokesperson said: ‘Friends will gather for prayer at 9am, and there will be a Meeting for Worship at 11am, followed by a “bring and share” lunch with interfaith speakers from 12.30pm to 2pm.
‘The event will be held at the roundabout by the Excel centre’s east entrance on Royal Albert Way in London.’
