A group of people from Devon are marching in London today as they continue the fight for clean waters.

The national gathering will see people who are concerned over the state of UK waters marching with the aim of reclaiming the right to clean, healthy and abundant water.

Campaigners are calling on the new government to enforce the current law and deliver new legislation that will end all pollution, and restore the rivers, waterways, seas and reservoirs to full health by 2030.

Kirsty Davies from St Agnes-based Surfers Against Sewage told us more about the event:

"It's going to be a very community, friendly focus event and I really urge you to come along if you want to put your point across and share your voice with lots of people power action."

Participants are also being asked to wear blue to help form a human river throughout the city.

The march starts at 11am from Albert Embankment, you can find out more here.

The March is also being live streamed on the Clean Water YouTube channel from 1pm
