Hundreds of anti-vaccination protesters stormed the Arndale Centre after staging a city centre demonstration this afternoon (January 22).
People holding flags, placards and handing out leaflets entered the busy precinct, as shoppers went about their weekend routines.
It came after protesters had marched around the city centre, signing songs and demonstrating against the Government's decision to make coronavirus vaccinations mandatory for healthcare staff.

The protest originally began at 1pm on Piccadilly Gardens, as people gathered before marching down Market Street and then turning onto Deansgate.
When people moved onto Oxford Street, some apparent healthcare staff hung up their scrubs, featuring details of their jobs and how long they'd worked for.

Protesters then began to march around the shopping centre.
Chants of 'the masks do not work' and 'pull down your masks, what have you got to hide' could be heard.
The protests have affected bus services this afternoon, and the Metrolink was also briefly affected after some demonstrators blocked a tram.
Some passengers forced the doors of the tram open, so they didn't have to wait for the disruption to be cleared.
