Thousands turned up in Vittoriosa this afternoon for the second mass meeting by independent election candidate Nazzareno Bonnici ta' l-ajkla.
Members of the crowd, in a jovial mood, carried Maltese, EU and rainbow flags. Some turned up carrying the Roman Eagle normally seen in Good Friday processions. However the letters SPQR were replaced by 'Zaren'. Others waved yellow and white balloons.
Some people had eagles painted on their faces, and one man turned up complete with a set of wings.
