Wow, I'd almost forgotten about this.
I seem to remember that once the march was underway from St George's Hall, there was a planned route and a short route.
The short route involved hundreds of kids streaming down over the tunnel entrance, despite the protestations of the march organisers.
The kids were clambering over the cars that were still able to be parked there, I remember feeling sorry for some poor sod who owned a Mini, a good number of Liverpool schoolkids must've been on that little car.
Once we got down to the Pier Head it got a bit boring, political speeches and stuff, that we just weren't interested in at that point, I do remember the kid with the 'maggie' mask, though!
Once it was over we all streamed back up through town, quite a heavy police prescence, St John's precinct was fortified against us, with 'The big friendly policeman' using the kind of language that left us in no doubt that a 'clip around the ear' would be the least of our troubles.

Looking back, it was a fun day, I'm glad I was there.
