2009) pt 3

Third part of this epic photo story!

The body language speaks for itself.

Riot Cops = Centurians.

A very powerful visual statement.

The last I heard, 537 children had died so far.

Quite a few of these flying about on Saturday.

Now there's something you don't see every day.

The endless throng of protest.

So many symbols, all saying the same thing.

Excellent banners.

A moment of goodness...you said it!!

Didn't stop them protesting inside, did it?

Gaurding The Prince of Wales, no less.

Praying in the streets. A mosque can be anywhere.

Robocops, gaurding the Israeli Embassy, shortly before it went all mad.

UK vs US Apparrel.

Row upon row of riot cops. No expense spared.

Penning in one section of the crowd.

Blocking the progress of riot vans in a peaceful fashion. More pictures soon.

See first part for text.

Does anyone know what the yellow flag is with the Arabic script and a rifle symbol?

Cheers for translating.

I thought it was, as I recognised the symbol, which is why it got snapped, but I don't read Arabic.

The juxtapotioning of it with a church spire made for a very powerful visual statement, with just seconds to capture the moment.

If anyone out there can translate the Arabic messages on the other flags in the pictures here, please let enlighten us, which is another reason why I posted those shots, as well as for reportage!
