<p>Thousands of human rights supporters have flooded London&#8217;s Trafalgar Square in solidarity with the Egyptian people&#8217;s uprising.</p>
<p>&#8220;This means everything,&#8221; said Cairo-born Sarah Abdel Gawad, draped in an Egyptian flag.</p>
<p>The teacher was one of the densely packed crowd assembled to celebrate President Mubarak&#8217;s fall.</p>
<p>The 28-year-old mother of one said though Egypt&#8217;s future might not be easy, it is paramount the people are allowed free and fair elections.</p>
<p>&#8220;And then if there are mistakes along the way, at least they are the mistakes of the people,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Over the last few weeks I haven&#8217;t left the TV. All my family and friends back home were protesting. I wish I was there. Anything is possible after what we have seen.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Amnesty rally &#8211; one of 46 held in 16 countries &#8211; was organised before Mr Mubarak resigned and was planned to help heap on pressure for change.</p>
<p>But, with speakers appearing on a stage and broadcast on the internet with a link to Cairo, the mood was one of celebration.</p>
<p>Salil Shetty, Amnesty&#8217;s secretary general, told the crowd: &#8220;We are here to show solidarity with the people of Egypt who have achieved the impossible in a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, we want to send a resounding message from Trafalgar Square to Tahrir Square that we are in solidarity with the people of Egypt. Following Mubarak&#8217;s exit I have been asked if today&#8217;s event is a protest or celebration. I say it&#8217;s both.&#8221;</p>
