Chris Searle, an ex headteacher from Burngreave, attended the demonstration on 26th July 2014, outside Sheffield Town Hall in support of the people of Gaza. He said: “I was pleased to see and meet again some of my old students who live in Burngreave who I haven't seen for a long time. I can remember twenty years ago when as students they were writing very moving creative work about Palestine and the struggle of its people.”
