Not quite as spectacular as what was happening in London and Washington, but nonetheless significant was a Peace Procession which took place yesterday afternoon in Cambridge, headed up by local Samba Band Arco Iris, and opened by Mayor John Hipkin (himself a member of Campeace), speaking about his recent visit to Hiroshima and the impact that the Atom bomb has had not only on those that were killed at the time, but also the generations that followed.
Peaced and Trolleyed...
It was also noteworthy in that we were effectively marginalised, due to the route going around the backstreets near Victoria Rd, never once going near any main roads, effectively turning it into a fluffy family day out rather than anything too politically effective.
I also can't help thinking that, maybe given better promotion, more people would have turned out for this than did.
This event was staged to mark UN Peace Day.
