What the papers say
The National Rejoin March (NRM) gathered near Hyde Park, with supportive motorists beeping their horns, as reported by France 24. The Guardian, The Independent, and The Times also covered the event, highlighting the protesters' demand to overturn the 2016 Referendum result and rejoin the EU.
