“We all demand an immediate and permanent Ceasefire. That can be done, it has happened in the past, it requires the will to do it on the part of politicians. History shows pressure from below will bring that about - that's our job.”Fife TUC said the rally is also an opportunity for those who are unable to travel to big events in our cities, but believe the UK should not be complicit in war crimes, to show their support, adding: “We can all be ambassadors for peace".

The event will feature music from award winning community choir Protest in Harmony
