Iraq war anniversary
Anti-war protesters mark the anniversary of the start of the war

On Saturday, 20 March, 2004, a globally coordinated protest saw hundreds of thousands of anti-war protesters taking to the streets in cities all around the world.

An estimated 25,000-50,000 people joined London's march to Trafalgar Square. These photographs were taken at the end of the day
