Protesters campaigning against Brexit will march in Leeds next month to mark the one-year anniversary of the triggering of Article 50.

Leeds for Europe have dubbed the event the 'Great Northern March', which the group says will be one of the largest protest marches ever seen in Yorkshire.

The protest follows on from a Unite For Europe march in London in 2017 attended by 120,000, according to the group's own estimates.
