A few shots I took walking around Bristol City center the day the EDL came to march here
Anti-EDL at st augustines parade
Anti-EDL at st augustines parade
Drizzle in Brizzle for the Anti-EDL
All entrances blocked to Queen Square where EDL started and ended their march
Plenty police and their vehicles on every street
The front of what was to be the anti-EDL march down Baldwin street
Small part of the anti-EDL procession
More anti's
Police walling used to stop any possible access to queen square via main roads
More of the anti-procession on Baldwin street
Police setup to stop procession moving too far from castle park
Numbers started building up at intersection top of baldwin street
EDL , police and these hotel workers were behind the police blockages to the queen square grid
Those smoking hotel workers were behind this
Anti-protest didn't move too far into the castle park area
Anti-EDL march made up of several groups
The police numbers were huge but seemed friendly
Being a motorist at this time must have sucked
Lots of different regional police divisions spotted
swish!
Just behind us , again area covered with police
with a bit of kettling it did appear to get a bit cosy
On the other side of the river
Behind these guys was the EDL
EDL can just be seen in the background
Round the back and above the EDLcrowd
Slowly but surely the EDL are moved back to their final destination of queen square
Strong chanting as they moved away
The way the EDL just marched blocked off
The one point when both groups could see each other , EDL on the left , anti-EDL on the bridge at the top of the picture, chanting elevated on both sides
Anti-EDL in full swing but surrounding area getting quieter as whole event begins to wind down
Queen SQ and all access still blocked, whole thing well contained and groups seperated
It wasn't possible to see the EDL or clearly hear their loudspeakers
As a massive contrast to the EDL and anti-EDL event , gay pride had been kicking off in full party swing at college green
It was weird not seeing a single police man in view
5 minutes away were both the EDL and anti-EDL, but you couldn't tell here
