Thousands of demonstrators marched through London today ahead of the anniversary of Donald Trump's inauguration as President.
The now-annual march first took place on January 21, 2017, with hundreds of thousands of women gathering across the world, including in London and in Washington DC.
This year's protest had the theme 'bread and roses', in honour of American Rose Schneiderman who fronted a rally of the same name in 1912.
Bread and roses originated from a speech by Ms Schneiderman, in which she said 'the worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too' - meaning workers should be entitled to a life where they are doing more than just surviving.
Protesters gathered in Portland Place, Marylebone, at 12pm, as part of a rally against austerity in the UK, before making their way towards Trafalgar Square.
Thousands of demonstrators held signs bearing slogans including 'austerity is misogyny', 'women's rights are human rights' and 'Brexit wrecks it'.
Writing about the event on the Women's March website, organisers said: '[Austerity] is the common denominator in the rise of economic oppression, violence against women, gender pay gap, racism, fascism, institutional sexual harassment, hostile environment and Brexit.
'Mostly impacting marginalised groups of people in the United Kingdom who are the many not the few.
'With the imminence of Brexit, we want austerity to end and are demanding specific assurances from the UK government.
'It is time to eliminate the dividing line between the "Haves" and "Have Nots". Equality demands that we all get to thrive and not just survive. We demand Prosperity not Austerity.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
