Thousands of people have driven to Birmingham s Indian consulate to show support for farmers in India protesting about agricultural reforms.
Despite the city being under tier three rules, people from across England have been taking part a week after a similar gathering in London.
The National Sikh Police Association UK advised people not to attend.
Arjan Singh, from Manchester, said people wanted to show the Indian government the reforms were unfair.

THOUSANDS of people drove to an Indian consulate in Birmingham over the weekend in solidarity with farmers in India who are protesting against punitative agricultural reforms.
It comes after about 250,000 people in India went on strike last week in a standoff with the government over new farming laws which would allow privateers greater roles in the sector.
Birmingham is in Tier 3 meaning that groups of more than six are not allowed to meet.
But thousands of people from across England joined the protest against the new laws that they say would ruin Indian farmers’ livelihoods.
The Kisaan Car Rally started at Guru Har Rai Gurdwara in West Bromwich on Saturday morning before participators in trucks, tractors, cars and supercars drove to the consulate.
