The headquarters of BBC Northern Ireland has also shuttered its doors while small crowds were observed gathering on both sides of the road on Bedford street. Around 100 people are on the streets at present. It comes after disorder broke out in the city centre and South Belfast following an anti-Islamic and anti-immigration protest, which took place on Saturday. Scenes in the city turned violent, with a number of minority owned businesses damaged by rioters. Picture By: Pacemaker Press.
