THOUSANDS of Liverpudlians took to the streets on Saturday in opposition to an arms fair in their city which opens this week.

Saturday’s rally was led by Liverpool Pensioners’ Convention — one of many campaign groups which have united with trade unions under the banner of Liverpool Against the Arms Fair.
