Brian Haw antiwar hero (1949 - 2011)
"Support our troops, bring them home" Brian Haw
Brian Haw RIP, the man who never gave up on the message of peace.
On the 2nd of June 2001 Brian Haw walked into Parliament Square to protest. He was by no means the first person to do so, however what distinguished him from the previous protesters was that he served his country in Parliament Square for ten years protesting until illness over took him and who knows perhaps he is even there today inspirit on his continuous peace campaign. It fell on Brian Haw's shoulders to stand up for the cause of peace as it fell on the shoulders the leading politicians of the day across the road from him to promote the curse of war. Brian Haw who had been receiving treatment for lung cancer for some months in Germany, died in the early hours of 18 June 2011
Police officer: "How long will you be hear for"
Brian Haw: "For as long as it takes"
