Thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday as part of the Black Lives Matter protests, which are taking place across Britain for a fourth weekend.

Anti-racism demonstrators gathered in cities including London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

"Until there is justice I will keep fighting. There just needs to be a lot of reform within the UK, within the US, within the world to do with racial equality," said 18-year-old student Ethy Lynch Barley, who attended a demonstration in Hyde Park.

Several thousand people gathered in Hyde Park, sitting on the grass and listening to speakers, before setting off on a boisterous, peaceful march to Trafalgar Square.

A smaller group marched from south London, near the U.S. Embassy.
