You are going to have to back that up with a source. It sounds pathetically weak to me. The BBC did not even turn up. How would they know in advance how many are attending?
If you can find me a BBC News report on a march on a national issue that had 3,000 marchers I’ll. concede. I had a bit of a Google before posting and found nout.
Good work on finding an example from lockdown when gatherings were illegal. Clearly normal rules applied then 🤦 For context, that demo tooll place on March 21. On March 29 restrictions were relaxed to allow outdoor gatherings (including in private gardens) of either 6 people (the Rule of 6) or 2 households will also be allowed.
So yes, on March 21 2021 a gathering of several hundred people was newsworthy.

What’s your source for the BBC not turning up?
There are three sources quoted in the article who were there. It is the whole point of the article.
