Over 70 arrests were made during a demonstration in Bolton town centre. Right-wing group the English Defence League (EDL) organised the rally and were met by a counter-demonstration from the United Against Fascism (UAF).

4000 protesters descended on Victoria Square and hundreds of police officers battled to keep control of the rival groups.

The demonstration wasn't as peaceful as expected and police were not happy with the level of violence. Four people have been charged with public order offences after trouble broke out.
