Hundreds of mums from the North East demanded more help from the Government as they took part in a national protest.
Roads were closed by police in Newcastle city centre as families and their children marched from the civic centre to monument. Participants were encouraged to wear Halloween fancy dress as they took part in the 'March of the Mummies ' protest on Saturday.
The event, which began at 11am, was also held at 10 other locations across the UK, including Manchester, Leeds and London. It was organised by the charity Pregnant and Screwed to demand Government reform on childcare, parental leave and flexible working.
