The United Families and Friends Campaign is a coalition of relatives of people who have died in all forms of custody - police, prison, immigration and psychiatric. Every October for ten years the UFFC organised a march by families of people who have died in custody from Trafalgar Square to Downing Street in rememberance of their loved ones.

The tenth remembrance procession took place on Saturday 25 October 2008. The event started at Trafalgar Square in London at 1pm, walking in silent procession along Whitehall to Downing Street and then continued to Parliament Square for a rally outside the Houses of Parliament.

Unfortunately there will not be a procession in 2009; it is planned that there will be a remembrance event of some sort in 2010.
