[Hugh Blair]

Here's some counts I've seen, YMMV:

London "at least 750,000"
Rome "claimed the biggest turnout - 1 million according to
  police, while organizers claimed three times that figure."
Spain "several million people turned out at anti-war rallies
  in about 55 cities and towns across the country, with more
  than 500,000 each attending rallies in Madrid and Barcelona."
  Another report says about 2 million nationwide.
Amsterdam 70,000
Berlin "had up to half-a-million people"
Paris "was estimated to have had about 100,000"
New York "rally organizers estimated ... up to 500,000 people"
Los Angeles "Organizers estimated the crowd at 100,000,
  although police put it at 30,000."
Toulouse in southern France "about 10,000 people"
