Large crowds turned out in anti-racism protests across Britain on Wednesday, a challenge to planned far-right demonstrations, after more than a week of violent riots and attacks across the country targeting Muslims and migrants.
Hundreds denounced racism at a gathering in Liverpool, chanting slogans and waving banners.
And in London, aerial footage showed Walthamstow in the city's northeast flooded with anti-racism protesters, a mix of Muslims, anti-racist and anti-fascist groups, left wing organizations and locals.
"We want to unite, we want to send a clear message that these are our streets, we've worked hard to create unity and we have a community. We're not going to let fascists, we're not going to let racists and the far right march here."
"It's time to move on from this. I can't believe it's happening again. I was around the Thatcher (former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher) years. I can't believe I used to get up in the anti-Nazi marches and here we are again."
Britain has been roiled in violent clashes last week after three young girls were killed in a stabbing in the northwest city of Southport.
