Protesters took to the piazza in front of York Minster to campaign against the restrictions designed to reduce the spread of coronavirus.
A small group unfurled a banner saying, ‘No more fake science’.
A man with a megaphone told passing residents and visitors: “They’re just making it up as they go along.

“We’re not saying this virus doesn’t exist. What we’re saying is, it’s not as dangerous as they’re making it out to be.”
It was a peaceful event and didn’t draw much of a crowd.
