Setting the alarm for half-five does not lead to happy first moments, but apart from that this morning's been fine. All is calm and friendly but My God there are a hell of a lot of people out there.

Just spent a few hours right at the march's end-point. Estimates of the number of people present have been creeping up - and I think I told every single bastard one of them not to abandon their placards where the following marchers would have to walk over the things. 100,000, then 120,000, and now . . .

Organisers, police and city council officials are putting the estimate for the number of people involved at approximately 225,000.
