Assistant Chief Constable Rick Jackson, gold commander for the day's policing operation said: “Manchester was expected to be extremely busy, with multiple planned protests in the city centre as well as several football matches.
“We put extra officers on duty to support people’s right to protest peacefully while reducing the impact on the wider public.
