National flags banned at public faith celebration

The day before Pentecost Sunday, thousands of Christians gathered to publicly celebrate faith, to worship God and to pray.

The "Jesus March" took place on Saturday 23 May and saw participants assemble "in an atmosphere of joy and expectation before singing and dancing through the capital". Around 7,000 Christians gathered for the event in central London which began on Park Lane and concluded in Trafalgar Square.

"It's not a protest, it's not political and it's not a promotion" was the event's slogan. Organisers said: "The spirit of the march... was in sharp contrast to other recent marches, and pushing back against the increase in Christian UK nationalism. People were asked not to bring national flags, political placards or promote their own cause."
