Protesters use mirrors to send ‘symbolic’ SOS call to Europe over Brexit
The protest took place on the cliffs at Saltdean, near Brighton.
More than 400 people gathered on cliffs near Brighton to send an SOS signal across the English Channel in protest against Brexit.
The protesters used mirrors and other reflective objects to send the signal in the direction of continental Europe.
The stunt was a “large scale, pro-EU, human artwork”, according to a statement issued by the organiser, Bristol-based artist Dunkan McKellar.
The protest took place on Saturday on the cliffs at Saltdean on the south coast.
The crowd spread out to form a long line along the coast, facing out across the sea.
Participants wore a mirrored mask which reflected the sun’s rays.
“The masks caught the sun and together they created a dazzling ray of hope crossing the border wall,” the statement added.
