“I marched because I care about my future, but I can’t vote yet” said 15-year-old, Gabriella, who marched with more than 1,000 campaigners from St Albans and Harpenden in demand of a People’s Vote.

Protesters packed onto trains with placards and flags to join more than one million people estimated to have marched through central London to demand a People’s Vote.

Fiona McAndrew, chairman of St Albans for Europe aid: “The timing of this march could not have been better. We had so many newcomers joining us to march for the first time in their lives, all absolutely enraged by the Government’s Brexit chaos and very anxious about the current political climate."

Deb Lancaster from St Albans said: “I marched because I think we are walking blindly into a chaotic disaster - our children and grandchildren will marvel at the stupidity.

Some of the elderly people I met on the march really struggled to walk, but were there anyway. It brought tears to my eyes. We are making history, for all the wrong reasons.”


In March, parents and children took to the city centre to protest about the lack of secondary school places after Hertfordshire County Council were unable to give places to 189 children.

Protest organiser Josie Madoc’s 10-year-old daughter Seren was denied places at all four schools she applied for - one of which was her nearest school, only 1,500m from her house.


Care worker, Carolyn McClune, also known as Carolyn Bouvier, of High Street in Redbourn, was jailed after stealing from life savings and pensions of elderly people totalling £126,000.
