Aldermaston Marches

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Aldermaston Marches 

demonstrations by English peace activists and participants in the movement to ban nuclear weapons. The marches usually begin in Aldermaston and end in mass demonstrations in Trafalgar Square in London. The first Aldermaston March took place in April 1958 along the road from London to Aldermaston. Since that time, marches have taken place, with few exceptions, once every spring.
