Thousands of people took to the streets in London Saturday to rail against coronavirus safety measures, which have already started to ease.
The event was dubbed “Unite for Freedom” and marchers also protested vaccine passports, according to reports.
Some reports put the crowd size at 10,000.
Lockdown measures have already started to lift in the UK with restaurants and pubs given the greenlight for outdoor eating and drinking on April 12. Gyms and hair salons were also permitted to open and further restrictions are set to be lifted May 17 at the earliest.
