Thousands of protesters including far-right politicians rallied across France on Saturday afternoon in support of the country's cash-strapped police force. Organised by the Alliance trade union, rallies were held in around 20 cities, including Paris, where between 15,000 and 20,000 people turned up.
Gathered behind a banner reading "Citizens with the police, stop insecurity, stop impunity", the protesters marched through central Paris.
