The protesters are expected to arrive after making their way from Hyde Park to the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London. The protest -- set to be one of the largest in the capital in decades -- comes after EU leaders this week granted a delay to Brexit, prompting Prime Minister Theresa May to make a renewed bid to win MPs' backing for her divorce deal.
