Overall a great afternoon.
Thanks to all the individuals and groups who helped organise @Rally4OurRights.
It was very different to many of the other events, but that was always the intention.
The focus was on just one aspect of Brexit, but it's a very important one.

And thank you to everyone who turned up to support the event on a rather damp October afternoon.
It's easy to be a social media warrior sat at home with a cup of tea when the weather gets bad.
We are not just summer soldiers or sunshine patriots.
