In Chepstow, some people "took the knee", while in Barry those who experienced racism were asked to form a line.

Protests around the world have been sparked following the death of George Floyd in the US.

People gathered on the Maes in Caernarfon for the demonstration

The 46-year-old died in Minneapolis in May as a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

The final moments were filmed on phones and four police officers involved have been sacked and charged over his death.

Organisers of the demonstration at Chippenham Fields in Monmouth said they "do not tolerate any violence" and personal protective equipment was mandatory.
