Parliament Square anti-war protester Brian Haw, 62, dies...

Over the last decade he fought off many an attempt to remove him from Parliament Square.

But in the end it was only death that succeeded in ending Brian Haw’s long campaign.

Britain’s most famous protester died over the weekend after losing his battle with lung cancer.

Tributes poured in yesterday to the figure who became a familiar face to many MPs and tourists over the last 10 years when he lived in a tent on the square.

The 62-year-old first pitched his tent on the green opposite the Houses of Parliament in protest against the UK’s policy in Iraq and elsewhere on June 2, 2001. More + photos...
