Thousands at city's anti-war demo



Several thousand anti-war protesters have gathered in Manchester for what organisers said was "one of the biggest mobilisations outside London".

Demonstrators are protesting against Government policies in the Middle East and nuclear weapons, on the eve of the Labour Party conference in the city.

The theme is "Time To Go" - a call to get troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Police estimated 10,000 people were taking part. Stop The War Coalition had said it had expected about 100,000.
