A demonstrator waves a Union flag, decorated with the stars of the EU flag, as they prepare to participate in an anti Brexit, pro-European Union (EU) march in London, ahead of the British government's planned triggering of Article 50 next week. Britain will launch the process of leaving the European Union on March 29, setting a historic and uncharted course to become the first country to withdraw from the bloc by March 2019.
