About 300 people took part in a rally on Saturday, which saw activists head towards Zuccotti Park – the lower Manhattan site which served as base camp for months of demonstration.

It was part of three days of action celebrating the Occupy anti-capitalist movement, which burst into life a year ago but has since waned.

The main event will take place today, when activists are expected to attempt to surround the New York Stock Exchange and disrupt morning rush hour traffic.

As a precursor to that, marchers took to the streets throughout the weekend in a series of smaller protests.

Police patrolled Saturday’s rally, making several arrests for disorderly conduct and risk of endangerment. – (Guardian service)
