Songwriter Caroline England, 35, and her daughter Taran, 4, travelled from Liverpool to take part in the march.
Mrs England said: 'Our hair colour is beautiful. I have even written a song called "Ginger" which is about having this distinctive look and being proud of it. It's a funny take on having red hair.
'There are many people who think it's alright to be mean towards people with red hair, but we are proud of who we are.'
