Thousands of people from across the UK came together to be a powerful voice for the unborn at the March for Life in London on Saturday.
Organisers estimate that at least 10,000 people turned out for March for Life UK 2025 on Saturday.
Most of the people taking part were Christians, but organisers said they were pleased to see an increasing number of atheists at the march.
The day began with church and prayer services in the morning, before the march got underway to Parliament Square.
The enthusiasm of participants was undented in the face of a small number of pro-abortion counter-protesters, and a separate protest nearby against a ban on the Palestine Action group where there were hundreds of arrests.
This year’s March for Life was supported by a number of Christian leaders including Anglican and Catholic bishops, evangelist Glen Scrivener, Christian Concern CEO Andrea Williams, evangelical theologian Dr Aaron Edwards, Carla Lockhart MP, and pro-life campaigner Regan King.
Reflecting on the success of the day, co-organiser Isabel Vaughan-Spruce said that, more than the numbers, she was delighted to hear so many amazing stories of pro-life advocacy across the country.
“One student told me how she was planning to start a pro-life society at her university, another explained how the reality of the spiritual battle had been brought home to them and they realised the need for personal prayer,” she said.
