Opposition supporters gather at the Holy Trinity cathedral in Tbilisi May 26, 2009. Tens of thousands of opposition supporters rallied in Georgia on Independence Day on Tuesday to demand the resignation of President Mikheil Saakashvili, whose government cancelled a military parade to avoid confrontation. The opposition accuses 41-year-old Saakashvili of monopolising power since the 2003 "Rose Revolution" that ousted the ex-Soviet old guard of Eduard Shevardnadze. He has come under renewed pressure since a disastrous war with neighbouring Russia in August last year. REUTERS/David Mdzinarishvili (GEORGIA POLITICS CONFLICT)
