Tens of thousands took to the streets across the UK on Sunday, with peaceful, George Floyd-inspired demonstrations at times turning violent against people and property, with statues of historic figures defaced or torn down.

Protests sparked by Floyd’s police-custody death in Minneapolis have spread across the world, with the ire of protesters in Europe directed against prominent figures in the continent’s colonial past.
