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
