This protest featured several people dressed in hoods and orange boiler suits in the style of prisoners at Guantanamo bay, and about 20 or so other participants dressed in orange outfits / nappies with the words 'Fair trial my ass' on their behinds - a reference to Binyam Mohamed's trial at which he faces the death penalty.

Speeches were read and songs were sung, as the mock-prisoners sank to their knees outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar square. They were then marched through the square and paraded around by a mock- US army general.

The atmosphere was jolly but determined. It went off peacefully, and the police monitored the whole thing carefully.

The event was timed to coincide with George Bush's visit to London. He will have breakfast with Gordon Brown (the British Prime Minister) on Monday.
Across town the Anti-Bush rally got underway in Parliament Square. More photos from that to come.
