Hundreds turn out for Black Lives Matter protest

Hundreds of people have turned out for today's Black Lives Matter protest in Douglas this afternoon.

The event has come about after thousands of people have been demonstrating across the US, UK and over the world following the death of African-American George Floyd.

After gathering opposite the Villa Marina at Noon, those involved are making their way towards Regent Street - a nine-minute silence will also be held.

Organisers have previously said they will be spreading awareness and raising money, while masks and gloves will be worn for protection.
