| | Saturday, 9 November, 2002, 16:43 GMT In pictures: Florence protest In a colourful and noisy display, hundreds of thousands of people from across Europe have been marching through the Italian city of Florence to protest against a possible war on Iraq.  So many people turned up that the march had to start early to avoid congestion problems  At the head of the protest, participants carried a banner which read 'No war'  Enemy number one for most of the demonstrators was US President George W Bush  But nonetheless a festive carnival atmosphere prevailed  Some marchers seemed to have trouble keeping their mind on the serious business at hand  Children of all ages were recruited to the cause | |
