After 60 years of production, Burberry's Treorchy plant has closed and displaced over 300 workers. Celebrities had campaigned to keep the factory open but in the end it just wasn't enough for the commercially not viable factory.

The workers were joined by family, friends, former workers, politicians, union leaders and a local jazz band as they began their march, swelling their number to around 400.
