Thousands of anti-racism protesters took to the streets of Manchester for the third day in a weekend of demonstrations in response to the death of George Floyd in America.
People knelt on one knee in St Peter's Square in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, with similar protests being held across the country.
Those attending also held an eight minute silence, chanted Mr Floyd's name and other slogans to make their voice heard, as well as holding placards.
There was also a march across the city, and speeches.
The M.E.N. spoke with several people who attended the demonstration, with many wearing face coverings and masks as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
Rocky Ming, from Moss Side, said he felt he had to attend today's event as he missed Saturday's event, and spoke of his pride at the turnout.
He said: "There's been a lot of crying, I'm tired of giving racists my tears, I'm angry now.
"There needs to be a change."
James said he comes from a mixed family, and that his mother was the only black woman at the university she attended in Scotland.
He said: "I'm sick of being told to ignore racists, or to just put up with it.
"I'm sick of it, enough is enough."
A man who asked not to be named said he moved to the UK from Jamaica in the 1960s.
He said: "When everybody was kneeling, it was really powerful.
"Last time I saw something like this was when Mandela was released."
Another man, Kieran. attended with his daughter Florry and son Jonah.
He said he has been educating his children about society and the Black Lives Matter movement.
"I felt it was important to bring them and educate them so they can be part of the solution in the next generation," he said.
The weekend's protests were held after health secretary Matt Hancock had urged people not to attend demonstrations.
Mr Hancock said it is 'undoubtedly a risk' that there will be an increase in Covid-19 cases following the protests.
He said while he supported the activists’ arguments, he asked people not to gather in groups of more than six.
