Fees fury sparks mass student protests across UK

Protests have been held at locations around the UK as students and school pupils voiced their objections to proposed rises in university tuition fees.

As darkness fell, fires were started, graffiti sprayed and windows broken in Whitehall by demonstrators who were being contained by police.

Many of the demonstrators focused their anger on the Liberal Democrats, who had pledged to oppose any rise in tuition fees as a key part of their general election manifesto.
