Crowds call for UK to rejoin EU at anti-Brexit rally
Protestors label Brexit a 'huge mistake' at London demonstration
Tens of thousands of people waved EU flags and blamed Britain's current economic and political woes on its departure from the bloc
Tens of thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday demanding a second referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union.
The demonstrators, who gathered in Hyde Park before marching to Parliament Square, carried placards with slogans such as "Brexit is a mistake" and "We want a people's vote".
The march was organised by the People's Vote campaign, which is calling for a second referendum on the final Brexit deal.
"We are here today to say that Brexit is a huge mistake," said a spokesperson for the People's Vote campaign.
"The government has failed to deliver on its promises and the people have the right to have their say on the final deal."
The march comes as the UK government is due to publish its white paper on Brexit next week.
The white paper is expected to set out the government's plans for leaving the EU, including the UK's future relationship with the bloc.
