Fairtrade supporters from York, Maurice Vassie and John Whitworth, were delighted to take part. ‘ We must hold the G8 to account’ stated John ‘policies must change if we are to see a world without hunger.’
Mark Dawson, Coordinator of Fairtrade Yorkshire, was also amongst the 45,000 strong crowd. He planted one of the hundred of thousands of flowers in the dramatic field of flowers. ‘It’s a stunning sight’ Mark commented ‘the symbolic act of planting a flower represents our commitment that we will carry on with the fight until we have a world where no child has to suffer from hunger’.
