Billed as a celebration of '60 years of the State of Israel', an 'affirmation of solidarity with and support of Israel', the controversial Salute to Israel march made it's debut in London for the first time on Sunday 29th June 2008.

The event started with a march through london, and ended with a 'concert' and political speeches in Trafalgar Square. There were several counter-demonstrations by Israelis against Zionism, student groups and Palestinian solidarity groups.
