LISBON (Reuters) - Marches to celebrate the anniversary of the revolution that ended Portugal's 47-year dictatorship returned to the streets on Sunday with more people and less social distancing than expected.

Marches were cancelled last year because of the risk of spreading COVID-19, but this year health authorities allowed them to go ahead, with limits on numbers of people and social distancing rules in place.
