A silent procession stretching through Whitehall created a "peaceful thunder" in central London on Saturday as more than 600 people joined a Quaker-led Silent Walking Vigil for Peace. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

A large group of Quakers marching silently down Whitehall with a hot pink banner saying 'Quakers for peace'. Big Ben/Elizabeth Tower is visible in the background

People gathered in a circle for an outdoor meeting for worship with people sat on the ground and on benches/walls.

Joined @quaker.org.uk Silent walking vigil in a very noisy London yesterday. Beautiful connection and reconnection, sharing solidarity and care for those impacted by violence, conflict and war. #Internationaldayofpeace #peaceday Thanks for the flapjack, flowers and origami

Photo of a T-shirt with calligraphy by Thich Naht Hahn reads peace in oneself peace in the world. The instructions to join the peace vigil was to wear white so this fitted the assignment! Bottom left is a rose and an origami crane I was given after the walk and top centre is the leaflets that were distributed to curious friends

Rollright stone

The Rollright Stones are a complex of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments near the village of Long Compton, on the borders of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. Constructed from local oolitic limestone, the three monuments, now known as the King's Men and the Whispering Knights in Oxfordshire and the King Stone in Warwickshire, are distinct in their design and purpose. They were built at different periods in late prehistory. During the period when the three monuments were erected, there was a continuous tradition of ritual behaviour on sacred ground, from the 4th to the 2nd millennium BCE.

Poem by Roger mcgough displayed at the Liverpool museum

I am the warm hello and the sad farewell

I am the path to glory and the road to hell

I am the gull on the wing and the salt in the air

I am the night patrol and the morning prayer

I am the port register, read the names with pride

I am the thickening fog and the quickening tide

I am the ferryboat, the slaver, the man-o'-war

I am the keeper of the quays, welcome ashore

I am the starstruck, eternal romantic

I am the gateway to the Atlantic.

Text down the right side reads
Announcement! Act Up London's Black History Month Takeover on Friday 11th October: This Is My Culture (TIMC): Celebrating Black Queer Joy, Resistance, and Power 🥁

"Black queer artists aren’t just influences — we are originators. From house to disco to rock ’n’ roll, our sound built the foundations of music. Too often erased — not here, not tonight.

This is a protest rave, a celebration, and a community gathering all at once. Expect talks, performances, food, and a club night that doesn’t just play music of Black origin — it honours the roots and the people who made it possible.

✨ What to expect:

- Talks & panel amplifying Black queer voices
- Performances from incredible QTBIPOC talent
- Food, social spaces, and Vogue Kiki moments
- DJs taking you through the full spectrum of Black-origin sounds, from soul to house to techno and more

A dancefloor that is both protest and pure joy!

In preparation for plans by campaignets to #ShutDSEIDown this Tuesday, it’s essential to know your rights when protesting. ⚠️ SHUT DSEI DOWN 🗓️ 9th September, 8 am 📍 West Gate, ExCeL Centre, London E16

Five key messages: no comment,no personal details, "under what power?", no duty solicitor, no caution

Police tactics and interactions: police can act unlawfully and aggressively, especially towards black and marginalised people. PLOs (blub bibs) are intelligence gatherers - always say no comment. Kettling: no time limit, no food/water guarantee, don't give details unless Section 50. Expect intimidation, lies and divide and rule tactics

Stop and search: stay calm, ask if you're being detained and remember the 4 Ws: WHY are you being searched, WHAT are police looking for, WHO is the officer and WHERE are they based. Do not give personal details and always ask for a receipt

Key legal powers: Public Order Act section 12/14. Section 50 Police Reform Act (antisocial behaviour) Section 60AA Criminal Justice & Public Order Act 1994 (removal of masks), Section 35 (dispersal orders)
