Two hundred Quakers from all over Britain took part in a Meeting for Worship at the top of Pendle Hill on 6 May to witness against fracking. Local anti-fracking activists joined in the national Quaker event which centred on thirty minutes of silent worship. Yellow, the colour of the anti-fracking movement, could be seen on coats, hats and rucksacks, and on large flags and banners.
