00:00, 27 September 2002

THOUSANDS of people from across Kent joined the mammoth 'Liberty and Livelihood' march through London on Sunday.

Waving placards, blowing whistles, holding banners and filled with resolve, the protestors sent a passionate message to the Government.

It's estimated that more than 400,000 people supported the Countryside Alliance demonstration. The future of fox hunting was top of most of the marchers' agenda, with organisers claiming it to be the biggest British protest in more than 150 years.
