This is part a large set which I shot at the protest yesterday outside the Iraq War Inquiry headed by Sir John Chilcot, where ex-prime minister Tony Blair was recalled to re-examine his original evidence in the light of new revelations which conflict with what Blair stated at his first interrogation in 2010.
Though not as large in numbers this time, the protestors were enthusiastic and high-spirited, and several photo-friendly stunts took place along side impassioned speeches to the crowd by Andrew Murray from stopwar.org.uk, Jeremy Corbyn MP who is a leading light in the cross-parliamentary anti-war group, veteran peace campaigner and chair of the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament Bruce Kent, and others including Peter Brierley whose son Shaun (Sean?) was killed in Iraq fighting Blair's illegal war.
