marches

Already weakened by camp conditions, many died on the way in what came to be known as the Death Marches.

From the Scottish Marches to the heart of London, Christmas lovers closed their shops in defiance of Parliament and some that opened were attacked.

It added: "Services on the Marches line through Shrewsbury are also expected to be very busy today due to an earlier incident of suspected cable theft which disrupted a number of early morning services".

Marches, protests and conferences are being held from Jakarta, Indonesia, to Mexico City and beyond.

Marches were organized in a hundred cities across the country, and in other cities in the United States and Spain.
