So your favourite voice of @chesterforeu is back and I thought I would share some of our best bits from Saturday. \thread

What an amazing day that was.
We started early on coaches trains cars and planes to get to our meeting point

Some of our people were helping going with this fabulous float @EUflagmafia

But most of us assembled together to join the start of the march. Great turn out and each of us were walking for family and friends who could not be there. Here we all are making our way up the road to Park Lane.

Once in the march we stood

.. and stood

.and stood some more

There were banners and flags and placards galore, thousands and thousands of them.

Ally the guide dog did a fabulous job both carrying our message and looking gorgeous

There were a lot of people and happy police officers. Not a minutes trouble, not a single arrest or fight or cross word with people who weren’t happy with what we were doing.

Look what we did. We filled the streets of our capital with laughter and positivity and people. 2 million people on the streets of London asking parliament to #PutItToThePeople

We even spotted a famous son of #Chester 😉

Our chair @DevaCaerCastra managed to get himself on @BBCPM. 5minutes and 49 seconds in link below

We met one of the earliest adopters of THAT petition

Here are the latest scores on the doors and the link. Keep sharing with everyone you can think of #chester

We are not a group affiliated to any particular party but we saw some party banners from across the house

There was music and dancing and some very bad singing along by me

At 16.42 we had not got as far as Trafalgar Square yet and we stepped out of the march as the coach travellers had to go. A few of us stayed to watch to the end. I don’t think 3 or 4 million @DevaCaerCastra but we are sure it is between 1.5 to 2 million, the biggest UK march ever

17.03 I filmed the end of the March. The police at the back just coming around the corner from St James. Thankyou to the @metpoliceuk for looking after us so well.

So there we have it. Our best bits. Thankyou to everyone at Chester for Europe who organised the transport and kept everyone informed about times and places and thankyou to all of you who came to stand and march and sing and dance with us.

Were you listening Parliamentarians from across the House of Commons? 2 million politically engaged, motivated voters each of whom probably represents another 10 people who could or be there. Did we break through your stuck records of meaningless slogans and untruths?

The people were talking very loudly on Saturday the 23rd March. Put it in your diary. It’s time you started to listen, they won’t forgive a parliament which imposes a damaging brexit on them without telling the truth about damaging consequences.

Just #PutItToThePeople
