XR Rebel Rising Royal Observatory Die-In

Greenwich, London. Sat 17 Aug 2019



Extinction Rebellion sets out from the common at Blackheath behind the banner 'Are We The Last Generation?'

 The XR 'Life Or Death' banner blocks the road for the procession to cross

 

 

 and the march enters Greenwich Park

 A woman with a clock face painted on her face

 sits down in front of the gates to the Royal Observatory

 and others follow her after carefully laying down the banners. Tourists walk past, some stopping to watch

 

 Another banner in front of the observatory 'End Fossil Foolery'

 

 

 

 

 

 Another clock on a poster

 and on a face

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In the background is the view across Greenwich to Canary Wharf

 

 A woman leads some chanting

 and another protester goes to talk to the tourists on the terrace nearby
     
 Tourists keep walking past. Some applaud the protesters

 

 

 'ACT NOW' umbrella
