A march in support of Palestine took place in Preston city centre, with participants carrying pro-Palestine banners and letting off colored smoke canisters. The event was organized by the Children of the Ghetto group and followed a rally held under the same umbrella two weeks prior. Former city councillor Michael Lavalette stated that the demonstrations would continue until the conflict in Gaza ends.
The hour-long procession set out from the Flag Market shortly after 1.30pm and wound its way through the city centre along routes including Lancaster Road, Fishergate and Lune Street. Green, red, black and white-coloured smoke canisters were let off during the march, causing the hues of the Palestinian flag to hover over Preston 's main shopping area.
>» Gaza war: Preston should channel peace in its own communities, faith leaders say . Former Preston city councillor Michael Lavalette, who helped arrange both events, told the Lancashire Post that the demonstrations would continue in a similar vein until bombs stopped falling over Gaza and guns fell silent in the strip.
>» 15 thought-provoking pictures showing Preston coming together over Gaza war . Michael said that a vigil was being planned on the Flag Market next Saturday, during which the names of all the children known to have been killed in Gaza will be read out and attached to teddy bears, which will then be distributed to local youngsters. Another march in Preston is then pencilled in for the following weekend.
