Black Lives Matter: Hundreds attend peaceful demonstration in St Helier
Hundreds of people in St Helier have taken a knee in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Islanders young and old gathered for the peaceful demonstration in People's Park to protest against racist violence in the USA and around the world.
The event was originally planned to take place in the Royal Square but relocated after as many as 1,000 people expressed an interest in attending online.
Protests have been taking place across the globe after the death of George Floyd, who was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin who knelt on his neck for over eight and a half minutes.
The event also featured speeches and poetry from members of the black community.
Police thanked demonstrators for maintaining physical distancing during the event.
