Britain First march in Manchester

The march, which began at Store Street and ended at St Peter's Square, resulted in at least three arrests for public order offenses.

Greater Manchester Police deployed hundreds of officers to prevent clashes between the demonstrators and counter-protesters who gathered at Piccadilly Gardens.

While the majority of both sides were peaceful, the significant disruption to city services drew criticism from local businesses and residents.

The event highlights ongoing social and political tensions regarding immigration and national identity in the UK.
