Live: London Black Lives Matter protest calling for justice for George Floyd in Hyde Park
BLACK Lives Matter protesters fill London streets over the death of George Floyd in the US.
People gather in Parliament Square, chanting 'No Justice No Peace' in the memory of George Floyd, a black man, who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck.
The 46-year-old was handcuffed and on the ground in Minneapolis earlier this week before falling unconscious.
Video of him pinned down, which has gone viral, shows Mr Floyd begging for air saying, "please, I can't breathe" and "don't kill me".
Protests have since flared up across the US, with the movement against police brutality going global.
On Saturday afternoon protesters in London carried placards reading "solidarity" and "Black lives matter".
Some read "the UK is not innocent" as dozens of people marched through Peckham, stopping buses and cars on the main road
