ORGANISERS predicted a turnout of around 10,000 for the All Under One Banner march in Dundee.
That number was well and truly surpassed, with the SNP's Stewart Hosie, the MP for Dundee East, estimating the number to be around 16,000.

This is a common sight on the marches. Its emotional for people marching when you see support from shoppers or businesses but I think the overwhelming number of people marching along with messages of hope & displaying many different flags does effect people watching.#AUOBDundee https://t.co/pfGl9Y1Cke

Apparently Unionists blocked one of the roads with cars, where the Independence Rally were marching in Dundee. What have they gained? Yes, the route had to diverge slightly but we will not be stopped. Hopefully those involved will be charged with Civil Obstruction.#AUOBDundee

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
