In Dublin today around 1,200 marchers braved the appalling weather conditions to show their opposition to war in Iraq.

The march wound its way from the Central Bank to the US Embassy in Ballsbridge. It was difficult to get an accurate picture of the numbers as people joined and left along the route, but I took a wander along its length and I would estimate that there were around 1,200 on the march at its peak.

Spirits were high, despite the rain, and loud chants of "No to War! No Attacks! No invasion of Iraq!" rang around the city centre.

Good luck to all those protesting in Shannon tomorrow.
