Vast crowds descended on central London Saturday demanding a second referendum on Britain's exit from the European Union.

The protesters began near Park Lane and worked their way down Whitehall, past Downing Street, before ending at Parliament Square. In a statement, the organizers of the march estimated that up to 1 million people attended. Authorities have not given estimates on crowd sizes.
