Rally against Pope
Thousands of hard-line Protestants marched through London at the week-end to the music of pipe and drum bands in protest against the Pope’s planned visit to Britain next month. Leaders of the march handed in a petition at 10 Downing Street before moving on to a rally in nearby Trafalgar Square. The marchers were members of the Orange Order, the Protestant organisation based in Northern Ireland that honours the memory of William of Orange, who ousted Britain’s last Roman Catholic king from power in 1688.—London.
