Newcastle Student Fees Protest

Students from schools, colleges and universities in the city gathered at old Eldon Square to protest against proposals to raise tuition fees.

The government plans to allow tuition fees to rise to up to £9,000 a year. The demonstration was one of a number happening around the UK.

Also around the city, up to 300 pupils from Heaton Manor School walked out as part of the demonstrations.
