UK: Tens of thousands of anti-Brexit protesters call for new vote

Tens of thousands of people have rallied in central London in one of the biggest anti-Brexit demonstrations, exactly two years after the UK voted to leave the European Union in a referendum that has divided the British nation.


The pro-EU demonstrators in the British capital called on Saturday for a new vote to have the final say on the country's departure deal with the 28-member European bloc.

The rally on the second anniversary of Brexit - Britain's exit from the EU - was organised by People's Vote, a coalition of groups campaigning for the UK to stay in the bloc.

The organisers said more than 100,000 people attended the rally in London, which voted overwhelmingly in favour of remaining within the EU in 2016.
