Around 800 young people brought Cambridge city centre to standstill in a protest to urge action on climate change.
Protestors including pupils, students and their families walked from Shire Hall to Market Square via King's Parade and Downing Street.
The Cambridge march was one of hundreds around the world and was the latest in a series of strikes urging governments to address the climate crisis. Organisers Fridays for Future said 1664 cities across 125 countries registered action with further turnouts expected in coming weeks.
The “School Strike for Climate” movement was first started by Swedish teenager Greta Thurnberg, who first began her strike outside the country’s parliament in Stockholm in August 2018.
