London (CNN) Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in London on Sunday to protest against the wearing of face masks, days before it becomes mandatory to wear face coverings in stores in England. Several demonstrators wore masks to illustrate their opposition to face masks. Last week, Johnson said people will be fined up to £100 ($125) if they do not wear masks in shops and supermarkets from July 24. Wearing masks was already compulsory on public transport in the UK. The UK has significantly eased its lockdown in recent weeks, with pubs, restaurants and hair salons all re-opening in July.
