Leaders of a farming protest which brought around 100 tractors to the capital on Monday (March 25) have hailed the event as a ‘huge success'.
The tractors set off on a go slow demonstration, leaving New Covent Garden Market at 5.30pm.
Save British Farming and Fairness for Farmers of Kent have partnered up for a 'go slow' tractor protest in Westminster, London.

The focus of the protest was on substandard imports, dishonest labelling and concerns for food security.
Liz Webster, founder of Save British Farming, said the support for the event had brought her to tears.
"It was an amazing experience," she said.

"It was successful way beyond our dreams.
Public support
"The police were hugely supportive and seeing all the media about it, we have dominated the news which is fantastic. We got the balance just about right. It was seen as peaceful."
Ms Webster said around 100 tractors were in attendance and Parliament Green was full of people.
"There was massive support from everybody," she said.

Looking forward, Ms Webster said the conversation needed to continue around the group's three main demands.
These demands were a stop to substandard imports, honesty in labelling of non UK products and to protect and strengthen food security.
