Football Fans Escorted Through Manchester City Centre

1 October 2019 · Manchester

A large crowd of football supporters in dark jackets fills a Manchester public square on an overcast autumn afternoon. Police in high-visibility vests hold a line along the pavement as a yellow Magic Bus double-decker idles at the kerb. A bronze statue presides over the scene from its plinth, indifferent to the noise below — the city carries on around the crowd, not because of it.
