Around 100,000 people marched in Glasgow on 15 February 2003 against the impending invasion of Iraq by a US-led coalition, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland. Actions took place worldwide, in over 600 cities, involving over 20-million protestors and is described by social movement researchers as "the largest protest event in human history".

Jeremy’s photographs document that day as it unfolded in Glasgow, showing the wide demographic of the marchers: from young to old; Socialist or Christian; experienced campaigners and those marching for the first time, brought together in outrage at the UK government’s intent on War.

This work presents a site of ‘collective memory’, underlining the importance of photography in documenting grassroots movements and activism in Glasgow and beyond. These images allow us access to our own memories, giving us the chance to re-tell our own stories that could otherwise be forgotten. We also see the creativity and wit present in the placards and banners on a globally inspiring day. So many people coming together deserves celebration.” -
