Thousands march for return of Hamas hostages

Thousands of people have marched through London to ask for hostages being held by Hamas to be brought home.

The 'United We Bring Them Home' march on Sunday began at Lincoln's Inn Fields in Holborn and ended in Whitehall, central London.

Families of Israeli hostages who attended on Sunday called for all parties in the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict to act fast to "bring our loved ones home".

The event was organised by Hostages and Missing Families Forum UK and was also attended by a variety of organisations.

A total of 121 people remain unaccounted for after being kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October, with least 37 of them presumed dead.

Speakers at the event included hostages' families, honorary president of the Conservative Friends of Israel Lord Polak CBE, and Professor Daniel Shek, former Israeli ambassador to France.

The UK's Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis also attended.
