Hundreds of enthusiastic Liberal Democrats hit the streets today for the first INtogether National Day of Action for the EU referendum campaign. From Daventry to Yate to Dunfermline to Plymouth, we flew the European flag.
The weather was very kind to us. My husband warned me to take a jacket into Edinburgh with me because it was going to turn nasty but it never did. We held a street stall in Morningside in Edinburgh. The BBC’s Scotland editor Sarah Smith was spotted walking past it, nipping into the shops behind. Did anyone else see anyone famous as they campaigned?
Anyway, here are some of the bright and busy Lib Dems in action from across the country. You can see all of them here. Let us know what you did, and particularly the sort of things people were saying to you, in the comments.
Lib Dem MEP Catherine Bearder was in Stratford:

Well done to the Glasgow team – there were a LOT of leaflets in the boxes.
The #INtogether street stall in Glasgow was so popular we ran out of leaflets and gave away loads of balloons and posters!
