The protesters knelt in central London’s Trafalgar Square, chanting “No justice, no peace”, and then marched past the Houses of Parliament and finished up outside the US Embassy. Several hundred protesters also staged a rally outside the US Embassy in Berlin, holding up posters saying “Justice for George Floyd”, “Stop killing us” and “Who’s neckst”. The death of George Floyd after his arrest on Monday has triggered a tide of protests in the United States, unleashing long simmering rage over racial bias in the US criminal justice system. The president denounced the actions of "looters and anarchists", accusing them of dishonouring the memory of Mr Floyd. On Saturday evening, Mr Trump said that Mr Floyd's death had "filled Americans with horror, anger and grief".
