Thousands of people took to the streets of London to protest what has been called a “crisis” in the NHS and demand funding to save the healthcare service.
The demonstration, coined 'NHS in crisis: Fix it now' was organised by the People’s Assembly and Health Campaigns Together.
Protesters carrying placards with “more staff, more beds, more funds” and “kick the Tories out” on them were taken all the way to Downing Street, and people chanting 'Keep your hands off our NHS' rang loud through the streets.
Here are some of the best placards.
