Protestors met at 12 0’clock in Priory Park and, despite wet and windy weather, proceeded to the town centre via North Street.
They then gathered around the market cross, made speeches, played music and led chants in opposition to the proposed bill. Read on for some of our best photos of the event.

"People’s concern about the bill and what it contains is obviously substantial enough for them to be doing this. Chichester isn’t any different to any other city. We still have concerns and doubts and issues about what the government is doing. Chichester may look as if it’s a true-blue city but, actually, there are other opinions, there are other points of view and that’s what people tend to forget about Chichester."- Phil Wilson, pictured right
