Student march against rise in tuition fees

Students are marching in London today to demonstrate against the rise in university tuition fees.

'Some 24,034 students have registered to take part in the march, and many have purchased seats on coaches booked to ferry students to central London.

The largest student contingent is expected to come from London-based universities, which are anticipating more than 5,000 marchers to show up. About 3,200 students from other universities in the south-east have said they will attend, with more than 4,500 students signed up from the West Midlands, Yorkshire and Humberside. The march is organised by the National Union of Students and the lecturers' union, the University and College Union (UCU).'

The Guardian is reporting on the progress of the march periodically throughout the day: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/blog/2010/nov/10/demo-2010-student-protests-live
