Anti-racism protestors take a knee in Nottingham in George Floyd's memory

Black Lives Matter protesters chanted 'I can't breathe' as they took a knee in front of the Nottingham Council House. Dozens gathered in the Old Market Square to pay their tributes on the second year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd on Wednesday (May 25).

George Floyd died in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25 in 2020 after police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for several minutes. It followed an altercation and attempted arrest following a report over an alleged forged $20 note, with video footage capturing Mr Floyd pleading "I can't breathe".

Mr Floyd's death caused international outrage, with protests held in major cities across the world including Nottingham. Police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted for his murder last year.
