In photos: Bristol’s December anti-lockdown rally

By Bristol24/7  Tuesday Dec 15, 2020

On Saturday, December 12, a group of around 200 people protested against lockdowns, tiers, masks and vaccines.

Josh Collins, a Bristol creative, captured the march as it passed through the city centre.

The march was organised by Stand Up Bristol, which part of a bigger movement encouraging the public to protest against Covid-19 restrictions. Photo: Josh Collins
