Tremendous determination and British spirit was shown last night by Nick Griffin MEP and a hardy band of campaigners who travelled up to 300 miles to spend a night in freezing temperatures, camping out on the streets of London, in a vigil to protect the memory of our Fallen Heroes. 

The Protect the Poppy campaign achieved a stunning victory yesterday when the Home Secretary was pressured into announcing a total ban on Anjem Choudary's Muslims Against Crusades, beginning at midnight last night, shortly after the Protect the Poppy campaigners had assembled.

As you can see from the pictures below, spirits were high, and reports of more people joining the vigil flooded in all night. Passers-by in cars and taxis honked their horns in support, with many stopping to talk to and congratulate the heroic campaigners.

A huge thank you to all those who supported the first campaign to Protect the Poppy, but an extra special thank you goes out to those who braved the cold to stage a show of solidarity in protecting the memory of our Fallen Heroes on the Protect the Poppy vigil. You have achieved a fantastic result and restored a great deal of hope to a beleaguered British people.
