Two coaches with a total of around 90 people traveled to the march from Lincoln.
People also travelled independently from all over the county with a rough estimate of over 300 members and supporters present at the march.
Over a million people joined the protest in London.
Chair of the Lincolnshire European Movement John Bland told The Lincolnite: “The march went well and it was certainly the biggest I’ve been on.
“We got a lot of national publicity on Saturday but in terms of what happens next depends on what happens in Westminster. There will be various votes in parliament this week.
Hundreds of people from across Lincolnshire took part in the march in London.
“We know we are not leaving the EU on March 29. Politicians are running out of options. There is no real agreement at Westminster so ultimately if you can’t agree there is only going to be two courses of action.
“Revoke Article 50 and put the whole thing on ice or put it back to the people for a People’s Vote. A referendum started it and I feel a referendum should also finish it.”

Committee Chairman at North East Lincolnshire European Movement Brian Milne said: “Brexit is already causing deep damage to Britain, threatening local jobs, businesses, the NHS and living standards in North East Lincolnshire.
“I was so proud to shout through my loud hailer outside of the gates of Downing Street lets make some noise London three cheers for staying in the EU hip hip horay hip hip horay hip hip horay and everyone around me chanted the same.

“The discredited Brexit deal, Theresa May is still trying to force on Parliament, bears little resemblance to what was promised in the 2016 referendum.
There were lots of banners and signs on show.
“The only way to solve this political crisis is put whatever deal is decided by Parliament back to the British people and let them decide.”

The 32-year-old man and 30-year-old woman arrested in the murder probe of an 11-year-old boy in Lincoln have both been released on police bail, without any charges.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder and the woman on suspicion of manslaughter after an incident at a house on Geneva Street on St Giles in Lincoln.
Police were called to the house at 10pm on Friday night, January 22.
The 11-year-old boy was found unwell at the scene and was taken to hospital for treatment.
He was pronounced dead a short time later.
At the time Lincolnshire Police said the death was unexplained and it was treated as murder.
The man and the woman arrested at the weekend were released on police bail on Monday evening.
Lincolnshire Police said in a statement on Monday night:
“Once again, we’d like to remind people that this is an active investigation and that an 11-year-old boy has sadly lost his life.
“Speculative comments are not only deeply upsetting to those involved but can potentially undermine our investigation.
“If you have any information that can help, call 101 or email [email protected] quoting incident 472 of January 22.”
Ten people from Boston have been given fines for breaching COVID-19 regulations by driving dangerously in supermarket car parks.
Officers were called after three separate reports of dangerous driving in the car parks of Lidl and Tesco in Wyberton Fen, as well as on Marsh Lane Industrial Estate in Boston.
All three incidents took place and were reported to police between 5pm and 6pm on Sunday, January 24, though it is unsure if they were connected at all.
When officers arrived, the drivers were seen doing donut manoeuvres and racing in the snow.
A total of 10 people were given £200 fines for breaking lockdown guidelines, but this will be reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days, due to all being first time offenders.
As well as the COVID-19 fines, two of the vehicles were also seized as a result of being uninsured, with drivers reported.
A traffic offence report was also submitted after one driver was seen to be driving not just dangerously but out of control.
Inspector Fran Harrod of Lincolnshire Police said: “We would like to thank the public for bringing these incidents of dangerous driving to our attention.
“This is not only extremely dangerous to those taking part but to others in these areas.
“While we continue to engage and explain with the public, this was a blatant breach of the restrictions which will not be tolerated.”
