Thousands marched through London today in a 'March for Europe' to voice their protest against last week's politically-charged referendum result in favour of Britain's exit from the European Union that has bitterly divided the country.

Demonstrators at the rally, which was organised on social media, waved placards saying "Bremain", "We Will Always Love EU" and "Never Gonna Give EU Up". 

They gathered around Park Lane before setting off for Parliament Square in the British capital.

A campaign poster for the event reads, "Bring food to share with each other ideally from a different European country".

Before of the event, organiser Kieran MacDermott wrote on its Facebook page, "We can prevent Brexit by refusing to accept the referendum as the final say and take our finger off the self-destruct button. It is the responsibility of parliament to consider our democracy more carefully and call for a vote before they all accept the UK's decline".
