Demonstrators marched from The Norkie pub to the Brook Hotel, in Bowthorpe, this afternoon to protest against the government's decision to use the site to house asylum seekers.

A large police presence escorted them down the road, putting themselves between the protesters and a group of counter protesters at 2pm on Sunday.

Union Jacks and St George flags were waved as "shut the Brook" was called out by demonstrators, alongside chants of Charlie Kirk, a right-wing activist who was killed while debating college students at Utah Valley University on September 10.
