Protesters toppled statues of British and Commonwealth monarchs Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II in Winnipeg, Canada, amid rising anger sparked by the discovery of the remains of hundreds of indigenous children in unmarked graves at former residential schools.

A crowd chanted "no pride in genocide" before pulling down the statues of the monarchs. The action took place on Canada Day on Thursday, a day usually featuring traditional celebrations across the country.
