Hundreds of people gathered in Slough on Sunday afternoon for a peaceful rally in support of Palestine.
Slough Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) group took to Upton Court Park on Sunday, May 23 calling for international action to support Palestinians affected by the recent troubles in the region.
People showed their solidarity with Palestine by holding placards and banners with Palestine flags on them.

Attendees joined in with chants of ‘Free Palestine’ and raised placards of support for the regions.
A spokesman from SPSC said: "Never seen a turnout like this at a local protest, people showed up from all over Slough and there was a powerful fusion of the religious and secular movements for freedom in #Palestine. Thank you to everyone who walked all the way from Upton Court to Empire Cinema and then the Slough Borough Council building.
"There were fantastic speeches by Dr. Lateef, Shaista, Preston, Sue, and others, and I was honoured by the request to say a few words as well. Slough & East Berks PSC and the organisers of a separate march ended up merging on the High Street, but the Palestine Solidarity Campaign is known for its strong alliances and we saw ourselves as carrying on in that tradition!
"Let’s hope that this unprecedented pressure in the US (from the most high-profile Jewish politician in its history and the first ever Palestinian congresswoman, for a start) ends up working in our favour."
