Thousands of protesters marched through central London calling for Britain to return to membership in the European Union, BTA reported, citing DPA.

On the National Reunion March, large crowds marched from Park Lane to Parliament Square.

Marchers from across Britain traveled hours to attend.

In the garden of Parliament Square, the rally's final stop, a sea of ​​blue and yellow was seen as supporters waved EU flags and carried placards.

Some of the posters read: "Brexit would never happen" and "For lower bills #rejoinEU".

Nikki Ajibade, a 60-year-old teacher from Warwickshire, was at the march with her sister.

She said: "We feel tangibly that the situation we are in now can be traced directly back to the 2016 referendum, which was supposedly a consultative referendum. It was not a supermajority result. 52 and 48 per cent is not something, with which you can just turn the whole country upside down. Look six years later where we are. So we feel very strongly that a sensible government should be formed, a general election should be held now."

Does Boris Johnson have the support he needs to run for Prime Minister and Conservative leader?

Asked about the potential possibility of Boris Johnson running for prime minister again, Ajibade said: "If they think Boris Johnson is the answer, they've missed the point, come on, that's just ridiculous. It's an insult to the nation. It's a real insult to the British people to even mention his name as a possible candidate. I'm not worried about Boris Johnson coming in. I'm not. I think that would be absolutely brilliant because then he would be the final nail in the Tory coffin."

The crowd booed as pictures of Leave voters such as Boris Johnson, Priti Patel and Nigel Farage were shown on a large digital screen overlooking the Parliament Square garden.

The crowd also chanted "Tories out" and booed when speakers discussed the prospect of Boris Johnson possibly running for prime minister again.
