The pilgrims involved in the 2013 UK Pilgrimage for Peace and Economic Justice finally arrived in London last weekend – sixty-two days after leaving Iona.  The journey, which began in Iona off the west coast of Scotland on 19 May, had taken a small group of pilgrims from one end of Britain to the other.  On Friday 19 July, on arriving in London, a group of six walked to Downing Street for a midday appointment to hand over their declaration and a petition. There were television and radio crews from the BBC, ITV and Radio Scotland in attendance.
