Gathering at Westminster Cathedral.
Holy water and the blessing of Parliament.
The procession gets under way.
"You need us more than we need you".
The Procession marches in sombre mood through London and toward Parliament Square via a prayer session and moment of silence outside Westminster Abbey where they sign a petition calling for an end to war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
After signing the Peace Plan petition in Parliament Square and blessing the British Parliament building with holy water they walk to Downing Street, where Maria hands in the petition to the British government.
The procession ends at the base of the memorial to Edith Cavell, a nurse and humanitarian, who was executed by firing squad in Germany on 12th October 1915 for helping soldiers of both sides to escape the squalor of World War One. London, October 5th 2008.
