The procession stopped at Downing Street and family members came forward and attached bouqets to the gates. The procession then returned to Trafalger Square, where a number of family members of the victims of injustice spoke. Their speeches highlighted an almost complete lack of accountability within the police, prison and mental health service whereby healthy people, mainly but not all black, continue to die in police and psychiatric custody and in prisons. Several talked about the indignity of not getting a fair trial in the courts and a criminal justice system which has consistently failed them.

Amongst the families who spoke at Parliament Square were the sister of Jason McPherson, who died after being held down by 10 cops in police custody in January 2007 after being prevented from being allowed to have use of his inhaler despite repeated pleas. The cause of Jason's death is still not established, as the family are still awaiting for pathology and post-mortem reports over 20 months on, one of which being the family's own independent post mortem.

The mother of Paul Coker also spoke. Paul died on 6th August 2005 aged 32 in a cell at Plumstead police station, South East London, just two hours after being arrested for causing a breach of the peace. Up to fifteen police officers arrested Paul, and the initial postmortem was inconclusive.
