REVELLERS gathered for the fourth annual Cannabis March and Festival in Brixton's Brockwell Park on Saturday. It was one of a series of events throughout the world on the same day.
It started at midday in Kennington Park for a carnival-style march to Brockwell Park's free festival.
The crowds got to listen to music, hear speakers and get drugs information. Johnny Void, from the Cannabis Coalition, said: "In the four years we have been putting on this event, cannabis has moved to the very top of the agenda in this country.
"This isn't just a protest, it's a celebration of cannabis and everything associated with it." A police spokesman said: "It went off very peacefully and there were no arrests."
