Thousands of
demonstrators blocked roads and pavements outside the Chinese embassy
in London last night as support for Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests
spread around the world.
Organisers
said 3,000 people in London wanted to show citizens of the former
colony ‘they are not alone’, as they fixed more demonstrations yesterday
in 25 more cities including New York, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow,
Paris, Toronto, Seoul, Taipei, Sydney and Melbourne. #MORE pics below:
In
the streets of central London and New York's bustling Times Square
alike the protesters held yellow umbrellas, which have become the symbol
of pro-decmocracy campaigners who used them to take cover first from
sun and rain, then from tear gas.
