The March was strictly policed and protesters ended up penned in, as usual.

Every year families and friends of those who die in State custody march from Trafalgar Square in London, England, to Downing Street, the fortified official residence of the Prime Minister.

It is estimated that one person a week is killed by police here, with a further 10 per week who die in State custody. No police are sentence for these deaths, despite some of the deaths being found to be 'unlawful killings' at subsequent inquests.
