Thousands have attended a pro-NHS rally in London, the culmination of a 300-mile march organised by a group of mothers from County Durham.
The group from Darlington, the Darlo Mums, are opposing what they say is the privatisation of the NHS.
About 30 people took three weeks to march the full 300 miles from Jarrow in South Tyneside, organisers said.
The government said the NHS's use of the private sector had only increased marginally in the last four years.
The march, which began on 16 August, was a re-enactment of the 1936 "Jarrow March", a protest against poverty and unemployment during the Great Depression.
