FATHERS from Worcestershire campaigning for better access rights to their children held a protest march through central London.
They joined scores of members of the Fathers 4 Justice group dressed in festive Santa hats, jackets and trousers assembled in Green Park to march through Picadilly and Covent Garden to Trafalgar Square on Saturday.
"We are trying to put the father back into Christmas. It is a sad fact that something in the region of two to five million children are not going to wake up with their dads on Christmas Day," said spokesman Gary Burch.
"A lot of these separations are because of the failure of the family courts. We are trying to prick people's consciences."
