THE banner of the Colne Valley Green Party was held proudly at a climate change march in London.

It was carried by Lesley Hedges, the Green Party's candidate for Golcar for the local elections.

It was created for the event by her daughter Catherine.

Mrs Hedges said: "The planet is warming now and when we talk to people in the streets and on our stalls they are frustrated that our Government is doing so little to help."
