The early birds gather at Ashford Station - some 500 travelled up on our train with a second train following a few minutes behind.
The beginning of the queue to join the queue that was queuing for the March. This was just outside of London Bridge Station.
It took nearly an hour and a half from leaving the station to the start of the March
There was a good-natured determination amongst the troops.

At one point the queue to join the queue passed over itself, just to the North of Southwark Bridge.
Well-humoured placards were the order of the day but many had some edge.
Still not at the start of the march but at least here we could stretch out a bit.

East Kent youngster with an excellent vantage point. There were many young people - especially the 18 - 25 age group.
The East Kent began to split up - it was almost impossible to keep together in the throng.
As far as the eye could see.

THE START
Every bridge was lined with supporters - "London welcomes the countryside"

The Cenotaph Silence reigned.
The last few yards through Parliament Square
400,000 and more trod the streets of London - marching about many rural issues but united in their determination that the countryside of the future is one that will be worthy of our Grandfathers and fit for our children - a countryside where the people have the liberty to hunt and the right to make their livelihoods free from political prejudice.
