By Bristol24/7  Tuesday Dec 14, 2021

Dozens of people gathered outside Bristol Crown Court as the beginning of the trial of the Colston 4 prepared to get underway.

There was a carnivalesque atmosphere on Small Street and cheers when the defendants arrived.

Rhian Graham, 29, Milo Ponsford, 25, Jake Skuse, 36, and Sage Willoughby, 21, have all pleaded not guilty to charges of criminal damage. The trial continues.
