Protesters prepare for 'family' demo in London
People from across the country are converging on London for a march in protest at the coalition government's spending cuts.
The Trades Union Congress predicts more than 100,000 people will join the march, to be policed by 4,500 officers.
The TUC said it was deploying more than 1,000 stewards to ensure the event remained "family friendly".
