Anna Glen, 25, and Madeleine Whitfeld, 24, attended the march with "Love Trumps Hate" signs they brought home after spending time in the US during Hillary Clinton's election campaign. They said they enjoyed the physical element of the protest, as opposed to just airing views on social media. "[It] makes you feel connected to other people who feel the same as you."
