Folks gathered for an Hiroshima Day Demo in the Market Square. Nottingham

This year was the 65th annerversary of the dropping of the Hiroshima atomic weapons [6th August 1945]

Each year a demo highlights the effects of Nuclear Weapons and the devastation caused when the atomic bombs were dropped.  Placards and banners were displayed and many passers-by, signed a petition calling for the government to scrap Trident Nuclear Weapons.

Earlier in the day, as a way of highlighting the devastation caused by the dropping of the atomic bombs, members of Nottingham CND cycled about to different places around Nottingham and giving out Hiroshima Day leaflets.
