More than two dozen people accused of taking part in violent disorder in England and Northern Ireland appeared in magistrates courts on Monday.

The charges included violent disorder, assault, arson and resisting police arrest. The youngest defendant on Monday was 14 years old; the oldest was 69. The majority were local to where the offences took place and most were remanded in custody to be dealt with by a crown court judge in several weeks’ time.
