Dear Olivier

On behalf of Rosie Boycott, editor of the Independent on Sunday and myself, can I just say a BIG thank you for helping us to make Saturday 28 April so memorable. Despite the ridiculous estimates made by some newspapers, we are sure those involved touched the 20,000 mark, an amazing achievement and a tribute to everyone who worked so hard to make this a success.

Many thanks for your valued contribution. It was a major demonstration of the depth of feeling in this country and will, I am quite sure, help to build the continuing momentum of the campaign.

Many thanks once again

Best wishes

Yours sincerely

Jane Larcombe

Organiser, Cannabis March
