The first demonstration against the war in Sheffield turned out to be the biggest demo here since the miner's strike in 1984. Estimates between vary 1000 and 2000 people.

Before the demo 30 - 40 cyclists toured the town along with a solar powered a sound system and a banner that said ‘Oil War’. The main event began with an open mike session giving anyone the chance to speak along with free food from Food NOT Bombs. Then followed a fairly short walk round to Devonshire Green where more food, music and speeches were made.
