number of people from Oxford met with other local
activists and marched on RAF Fairford. The
demonstrators assembled in Fairford village at 3pm,
with many in fancy dress as the event formed part of
the "Gatecrashers' Ball". Some of the men came in
black tie, with women in comedy ball gowns. The
procession went to the main gates of the base waving
banners and enjoying some of the Arabic music someone
had brought along. On arrival, the Declaration of
Independence from America was read and signed. The
protesters stayed to have a picnic of cucumber
sandwiches and fairy cakes, and eventually drifted off
home. The protest passed off entirely peacefully,
with only some irritable car drivers raising
objections to the protest.
