Thousands of people are marching through London to protest against the referendum decision to leave the EU.<\/p>\n
Demonstrators at the “March for Europe” rally, which was organised on social media, are holding placards saying “Bremain” and “We Love EU”.<\/p>\n
More than 46.5 million people voted in the referendum on 23 June, which resulted in the UK voting by 51.9% to 49.1% to withdraw from the EU.<\/p>\n
But critics said that those who lost the vote were “having a tantrum”.<\/p>\n
Demonstrators gathered around Park Lane before setting off for Parliament Square. A rally is also taking place in York.<\/p>\n
March organiser Keiran MacDermott said protesters hoped to stop the government from triggering Article 50, which begins the formal process of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.<\/p>\n
