PUPILS from a number of local schools gathered in Kendal this morning to raise awareness of climate change.
Hundreds of thousands of young people worldwide were also striking, urging world leaders to act to reverse environmental breakdown.
Matt Sowerby, a sixth form student at Queen Elizabeth School, Kirkby Lonsdale, got proceedings under way by leading a series of chants.
The children then took part in a march, and later lay down on the street as if dead.
