Nursery children join campaign against climate change
The gathering in Larne was part of a worldwide campaign of children and young people, started in Sweden by 16-year-old Greta Thurnberg, calling on governments around the world to work towards safeguarding the planet and protecting the environment.
The children displayed placards which they made to highlight issues such as recycling, endangered animals and pollution.
