Organisers of today's demonstration against the controversial visit of President George Bush claimed that up to 200,000 people joined the protest.

The numbers taking part in a march and others waiting in Trafalgar Square for a rally were a record for any weekday protest in the UK, it was claimed.

However, police estimates put the demonstrators' numbers at just 30,000, way short of the figure promised by protest groups.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets in London to protest against George W Bush and the war on Iraq.

Organisers claim more than 150,000 have joined the march in central London, although police put the figure closer to 70,000.

Protestors pulled down an effigy of Mr Bush to loud cheers in Trafalgar Square.

Ah tegen de BBC hebben ze al 70.000 gezegd.

Op de BBC TV werd aangegeven dat mede door de aanslagen van vandaag in Istanbul, het aantal mensen lager was dan verwacht.
