Basically two marches started, and each of the two marches were bigger than any other anti-war demo of the last years.
Many people were present who were never on a march before, and even Lothian Buses announced at all its busstops and its buses that there will be delays and alternative routes and that the event would be "out of their control".
However, the demo took place as planned and then as police tried to push people of the street into the dead end in front of the parliament, as usual, to enable trafiic to pass, they had to realise, that despite of their horses pushing the crowd into this space, it was not really possible, as there were just too many people.
Speeches were boring as usual and many participants of the demo were happy for the jugglers and drummers to entertain them, or left earlier.
There were sone puppets and many diy banners, and people from all political persuasions present.
