Hundreds of thousands of people united on Saturday to attend marches held all over America and different cities in the world to call for tighter gun laws, following the shooting which took place in Parkland, Florida, last month, in which 17 students tragically lost their lives.

Among the thousands of protesters were A-list stars such as George Clooney and his wife Amal, who took part in the Washington D.C. march which supported the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivors. The couple had previously donated $500,000 in the name of their nine-month-old twins Ella and Alexander shortly after the tragic February shooting.

The star, 37, announced she would be attending earlier in the day, tweeting: "So ready to March today! Landed in DC w North & Kanye. We stand in solidarity with the survivors of gun violence & students who are calling for action on common sense gun safety laws at #MarchForOurLives around the country."

Meanwhile in New York, Paul McCartney remembered his former band mate John Lennon who was shot dead in his residence in the Big Apple. In a brief interview with CNN at the rally, the Beatles star said, "One of my best friends was killed in gun violence right around here, so it's important to me," referring to the murder which took place in 1980.
