London Celebrates fall of Mubarak

London cheers in solidarity with Egyptian revolution


Demonstrators in support of the Egyptian Revolution take to the streets of London's Edgware Road

All up and down the Edgware Road the protest grew on Friday evening. Cars and buses honked, some with Egyptian flags. Staff and customers poured out of shops, cafes and restaurants to join this utterly jubilant crowd. There were smiles everywhere.

People danced and played drums on top of post boxes and anything else that would hold them. “Bye Bye Mubarak” was one of the favourite chants.
