Hundreds of protesters gathered in central Manchester on Sunday to oppose the national lockdown in England.
People started to congregate in Piccadilly Gardens from around 1pm, with police saying there were more than 600 attending at the protest’s height.
Social media footage showed hundreds of people, many of them carrying placards, protesting against the government’s decision to impose a second shutdown. There appeared to be little social distancing and few protesters were wearing masks as they chanted “rise up” and “freedom”.
