On Saturday 31/05 I attended the first of the series of the planned London protests organised by Black Lives Matter and We Stand UK. I wanted to support the protests and the Movement through documenting the message bearing placards, the speeches and the energy and the presence of the people. As it happens when I photograph protests I also documented the presence of my fellow photographers and the media. It started with the gathering on Trafalgar Square, then we all walked to the US embassy in Nine Elms. The final stop was Parliament Square, which has been occupied by the protesters until the evening. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #ldnblm #WeStandUK #KneelForFloyd #BlackLivesMatter
