A peaceful protest and march is set to be held in Kingston tomorrow (June 5) in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Following on from a series of protests in the wake of George Floyd's death while in the custody of police in the US, residents plan to march through Kingston in solidarity.

The protest is set to take place between 1 and 5pm, starting outside The Guildhall in the high street.

Residents joining in are urged to wear face masks and maintain social distancing guidelines.

It is understood police are aware of the planned event.
