Thousands of people have attended an anti-racism rally in Belfast following days of unrest provoked by a knife attack.

It follows days of violent demonstrations held across the city in the wake of a stabbing attack which saw Stephen Ogilvie lose his eye and suffer deep cuts to his head, face and back.
