A recent poll showed Britons supported the decision to start strikes by a 48-31 margin. But many citizens protested the decision. As the verdict was reached, opponents protested outside of Parliament. London-based photographer Holly-Marie Cato was on hand as people protested in her home city. Scroll below to see her photos.

Crowds formed outside of the House of Parliament and chants were yelled so loudly that they were apparently heard from within Parliament walls. Everything from "No more warfare! We want welfare!" to "Don't bomb Syria! No more wars!" were being chanted in unison by the crowd.
