Police arrest 15 people at Nottingham city centre protests
Hundreds of people from rival groups gathered near the city's Brian Clough statue on Saturday.

The demonstrations, which saw chanting from far-right and anti-facist protesters, were among a number to take place in towns and cities across the UK over the weekend.

Tensions have been high since three young girls were killed in Southport, Merseyside, on Monday.

Some Nottingham city centre businesses and venues, including the Broadway Cinema, closed due to the planned protests.

Nottinghamshire Police said a high-visibility police presence helped "to ensure there was no large-scale disorder".
