The protest on the English Bridge on Saturday aimed to raise awareness about the number of children killed in Gaza. 

Around 15 people took up positions on the town’s historic bridge over the Severn holding nine placards. 

The message spread out over the placards read: "Last year Israel killed 17,000 children in Gaza. There are 15,000 children in Shrewsbury. Imagine this town with no children. Stand up, speak out. Stop the genocide."
