Wow there were so many signs- they were a mix of professional (you could buy a sign there) and homemade. I carried a homemade sign. I think it was probably about 50/50- although there might have been more homemade than professional. I took lots of pictures. I'm trying to remember the signs- there were lots of signs that identified different groups- like "Fiddlers for Peace" or "Sisters for Peace" (nuns), or Middle Class families for peace. There was one really funny sign, by the side of the parade, help by an interesting young couple all in black, with their baby daughter all in black, that said "An Anarchist Family for Peace". There were "Imagine" signs, and "Give Peace a Chance" signs. There were wonderful folded Japanese cranes everywhere- some giant ones, hanging from sticks, and smaller ones dangling from posters. There were signs that said "War has a Face"- with a picture of a little Iraqi girl on it- these were some of the professional posters, and there were "Not in Our Name" posters. There were doves of peace, and there were some rather insulting signs. One was carried by what I assume must have been a french lady- it said "I'm from France- Fush Buck" :-) There were lots of signs thanking Germany and France, and many signs supportive of the UN. There were huge paper machier Iraqi woman, holding dead bodies- these figures lined a section of the route. Until I get my pictures back, that's all I can tell you.
