Reddy, who was dressed in “distinctive clothing” and wearing odd shoes, also took his son to the hotel disorder, the court heard.

He went on to throw bricks and rocks at the hotel and cheered when rioters lit a fire, the sentencing heard.

In mitigation, the court heard Reddy, of Victoria Street, Goldthorpe, Barnsley, had taken his son with him as he had intended to protest peacefully.

Also sentenced at the court was Daniel Dicks, who was pictured on the day wearing a camouflage coat and mask.

The hearing heard he told officers they were “protecting” those inside the hotel, adding, “we want them”, the court heard.
