Demonstrators have marched through Newcastle in protest at the UK's worsening cost of living crisis - with some pushed to voice their fear and anger in public for the first time.
Around 100 turned out for the People's Assembly North East organised demonstration to protest at the soaring cost of living as well as the shock sacking on March 17 of nearly 800 P&O crew without notice or consultation.
It was the third in a series of protests that have taken place across the UK since February coordinated by the national branch of the People's Assembly - which is fighting austerity, cuts and privatisation - and is supported by trade unions, community and campaign groups.
