Thousands of women and men
have gathered for a global 'solidarity' march in the wake of the inauguration
of US President Donald Trump. Some 2.2 million are expected to march globally,
with 500,000 in Washington and 100,000 in London (main). In the US capital (top
left) many arrived wearing hand-knit pink 'p***yhats' -a message of female
empowerment aimed squarely at Trump's demeaning comments about women. Emma
Watson (top right) and Cher were some of the many celebrities who made an
appearance at the marches. In the UK, a throng of people across all ages and
genders have descended on the streets holding a rainbow of witty placards with
slogans such as 'we shall overcomb' (pictured bottom right in Bristol) and
'because I want to march forwards not backwards'.
