London was brought to a standstill today as Extinction Rebellion brought an end their 14 days of demonstrations in the capital with one final march.
Huge crowds gathered in the capital at the start of the weekend for the march, which was titled 'MARCH FOR NATURE', and demanded an end to the use of fossil fuels.
Attendees were encouraged to dress in bright colours, specifically black, green and blue, and Extinction Rebellion's website also instructed those planning to take part to bring along their placards and banners.
The march signalled the end of the two-week long 'Impossible Rebellion' which has seen the movement demonstrating outside the gates of Buckingham Palace, blocking off roads in the middle of the capital and dying fountain water red as they tried to communicate their message.
