Thousands of Royal Mail workers have gathered outside Parliament to mark another strike in the increasingly bitter dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.
Many among the animated crowd are wearing pink hi-vis vests, waving flags and holding placards that read “strike to win” and “save our Royal Mail”.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) was expecting more than 15,000 members to attend the rally, describing it as the biggest postal workers’ demonstration in living memory.
