Yesterday's protests in Bradford

At 12 noon there was a peace vigil outside the university which between fifty and a hundred students walked out of lectures for.
They then met back outside the library at 4.45 to march down to centenery square with the college.
At Centenery square they joined between 500 and 1000 demonstrators to hear speeches from several local people.
Following the speeches was a die-in and a interfaith prayer/vigil type thing.
The emphasis throughout has been on peacefull protest.

On Saturday there will be another mass die-in in Centenery Square, at 1.00 and not the original time of 12:00. There are also coaches going to Menwith Hill & London.

Note - I'm terrible at estimating number of people. Don't take these figures as exact.
