05.04.2003 02:15 | Anti-militarism

'Art Against the War' activists are busy camouflaging phone boxes. In Manchester, 200 mourners attended a Peace funeral. 15 coffins were carried slowly around town for 2 hours ( pics). In Cambridge, a demo gently blocked traffic. Many motorists honked in support as they passed by in the opposite direction. In London a big banner reading "Wake the f*UK Up!" was dropped on Oxford Street.

The Irish Anti-War Movement is calling for a mass demonstration opposing Bush's visit in Belfast on Monday. In Northern Ireland, peace campaigners are organising emergency protests. Derry has already held a protest.

In Edinburgh, 100 blocked an Esso petrol station. School students held a demo on Friday. Later in the day, demonstrators used masses of postcards with a "Fuck Bush" design. The week before, on March 22, an activist had been charged for holding up a placard with the same design (report).
