Some one million people were estimated to have joined the Put It To The People march in central London today, organisers said.
Organised by the People’s Vote, Britain for Europe and Open Britain, protesters demanded the public be given a final say on the Brexit process.
Campaigners seeking a second referendum started in Park Lane at midday before gathering at Parliament Square for a series of speeches, with demonstrators tailing back through the route shown on aerial footage.
On stage Labour’s deputy leader Tom Watson addressed Theresa May's own speech this week when she told voters fed up of Brexit that "I am on your side".
He said: “Have a look out of the window prime minister. Open your curtains. Switch on your TV. Here are the people. Theresa May - you don’t speak for us.”

And Michael Heseltine told marchers that the EU represented "parliamentary democracies working together with power based on a shared sovereignty far in excess of anything any one of us could achieve individually" over decades.
People came from across the country to join the demonstration. Sorcha Kirker, 27, travelled from Orkney and told The Independent: "This is too important to miss because of something like geography. It’s our future."
The march took place as Ms May fought to stay in office, with ministers reportedly plotting to oust her. In a letter to MPs she did not guarantee that she would bring her deal back to the Commons for a third meaningful vote, amid suspicions it would fail to pass again.
Today's marchers will take heart from news Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson has backed a second referendum as a way of breaking the impasse at Westminster.
“It can only begin to bring the country back together again if we all have a Final Say – and then live with the result,” he says.
Heidi Allen, the former Conservative MP who joined the Independent Group last month, hopes today’s march will build on the momentum created by this week’s online petition to revoke Article 50 – which now has over three million signatures.
Writing for The Independent, Nicola Sturgeon says the SNP will try to help secure a longer extension to the Article 50 process "to allow time to put the issue back to voters".
The big overnight news from Westminster is that Theresa May might not go ahead with a third vote on her Brexit deal next week if there is not enough support for it.
In a letter to MPs, the prime minister suggested she could seek an extension to Britain's EU membership beyond the European Parliament elections if there is insufficient support for her Withdrawal Agreement.
People are travelling to the march from every corner of the UK this morning. A group of young people from Northern Ireland from the Our Future Our Choice group made an early start:
