Suffragette March Marks Centenary in Edinburgh, Scotland

Up to 4,000 women, men and children are to take part in a parade in Edinburgh, Scotland, marking a key suffragette demonstration which took place 100 years ago.

Participants are planning to carry banners and dress in historic costumes in Saturday's re-enactment of the original march in the capital in 1909.

The movement was a fight for women's rights which lasted almost 60 years.

At the time hundreds of people took banners and flags to join a rally along Princes Street on 10 October 1909.
