Thousands of people took to the streets of London for the annual Mayday march to Trafalgar Square. Visitors to the capital were given more than the usual sights to look at as the marchers passed by in a noisy and good-natured parade. Once in the Square marchers enjoyed music, poetry and dance, as well as putting up with the usual dull speeches from jump-on-the-bandwagon politicians. The size of the march confounded those who had predicted that this year's event would be a damp squib.
