(53,199 posts)There also was a fife and 2 drums playing like it was 1776. I gave them a flower to thank them. Someone brought a big bunch of flowers to the stage at the beginning of the protest and the speakers encouraged us to "give them to people to say thank you, especially the police". Well, I never got close enough to any police but I did pass the 2 drums and fife so I think they deserved it, too!.

I was close the shedding some - hanky to the rescue!
Kid had the crowd mesmerised for a bit there - and rightly so.

We NEED to reclaim things like the National Anthem. Democracy is ours; not theirs. They want a king.

(6,411 posts)But I wish the adults had removed their hats. That's such an automatic response from me (years in marching band!), that I can't believe that no one in the crowd took off their hat.
