'I hope today will send a message that things need to change,' he told the Daily Mail.

'I'm glad to be part of this and hope the leaders of the world are listening to us.

'I'm here to observe and participate peacefully in the protest.

'I always come to these kind of things, I'm very interested. There's a great sense of community.

'I am interested in learning and interested in why these people have come to this. I think it's also very beautiful.'
