Friends march in support of refugees

Quakers were among tens of thousands of people who took part in events across the UK on Saturday 12 September in support of refugees.

Rallies were held in a number of cities, including London, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Friends held a Meeting for Worship near Marble Arch before the London event began.

Among the charities supporting the rallies were the Refugee Council, Amnesty International and Stop the War Coalition.
