Nearly 30,000 people marched though Hayle on Sunday, to protest at hospital cuts in Cornwall.
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust is threatening to close St Michael’s Hospital in Hayle to make up for a £31m overspend in its budget.
About 27,000 people joined the one-and-a-half mile march, according to event organizers.
Other services which could be affected include the emergency department at West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance, which could be lost, and the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro which could see cuts to wards and services.
Campaigners want an independent review of Cornwall’s hospital services.
