The anti-war demo organised by Stop The War Coalition and supported by CND attracted over 450,000 demonstrations completely overshadowing the Countryside & Alliance march a week earlier. A policeman is on record saying that 50,000 were expected and 200,000 more had turned up in the early afternoon.
