Hundreds of people took to the street in the English seaside resort of Bournemouth on Tuesday to express support with the Black Lives Matter movement.

People kneeled in silence to pay their tribute to George Floyd, a 46-year-old man who died in Minneapolis last week after a police officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes even after he stopped moving and pleading for air.

The peaceful protest continued with protesters marching and holding signs supporting the movement and demanding justice for George Floyd.
