Thousands take to London's streets in pro-EU protest

Thousands have protested in London against British voters' decision last week to leave the European Union, which has left the country deeply polarised.

Most protestors who gathered on many were draped in EU flags, while others waved banners in support of the EU. 

Marching through the Westminster political district, they chanted: "What do Saturday were young adults, and we want to do? Stay in the EU."

"I was genuinely stunned on the morning after the vote," Nathaniel Samson, a 25-year-old marcher from Hertfordshire north of London, told Reuters. 

"I feel deeply uncertain about my future," he added. "I'm on the march to voice my discontentment. I am accepting the result, but it's to show that we won't accept it quietly."

London voted 60 percent in favour of remaining in the EU in last Thursday's referendum, with younger voters widely in favour of staying in the bloc, but 52 percent of Britons overall cast ballots in favour of leaving.
