Hundreds of people joins the Black Lives Matter march throughin London

 Hundreds of people have marched on Westminster in protest at the shooting of two black men by police in America.

The Black Lives Matter march went through central London to the Houses of Parliament at about 20:00 BST.

The marchers were heard to shout "Hands up, don't shoot" as they carried banners through the capital.

The march is in response to the fatal shootings of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana.

 The Black Lives Matter London Movement was founded by 18-year-old sixth form student Marayam Ali.

She said:"By these people coming here to stand and unite, they are showing that they are against police brutality and that's the most important thing."

Further protests are planned in Windrush Square, in Brixton, on Saturday and Oxford Circus on Sunday.
