A series of colour photos taken by Keith Armstrong documenting a march and rally in Westminster

07.TIF shows a male wheelchair user and two policemen. The man is wearing a red ADAPT "we will ride" T shirt, sunglasses and a hat with badges fixed to it. He is in the road in front of an open top London tour bus. 2 policemen and 1 WPC appear to be asking him to move: one PC has a hand on the wheelchair's handles and is trying to move the chair, the other PC looks on. The wheelchair user is ignoring the policemen or, at the very least, pretending not to understand their request. Several bystanders look on.

08.TIF A multi-ethnic crowd on the edge of the march. Centre of the image is a white woman in a colourful shirt who is smoking while holding a homemade cardboad sign that reads "No more begging. We want rights now! Rights for disabled people now!" A Rights now! leaflet is stuck to the sign

09.TIF was taken to the right of 08.TIF. It shows the multiracial makeup of the crowd. Two young men stand at the centre of the image and a young woman using a wheelchair and holding her crutches sits on the right of the picture.

10.TIF A rear view of a male and female wheelchair users on a protest line outside a Westminster building. 2 policemen stand opposite them

11.TIF Activist Sue Elsegood outside Westminster in the crowd. A white woman using a wheelchair with wavy brown hair wearing a Choices and Rights top

12.TIF A group of disabled protestors, including Sue Elsegood, sit on a ramp near Parliament. Sitting with them is Labour MP Dennis Skinner. They may have just finished crawling to the building, an event designed to publicise the injustices that the disability civil rights bill was expected to address.
