A street where rioters set fire to a library has been lit up with lanterns as part of a special solidarity march to mark its reopening.

Spellow Lane Library in Walton, Liverpool, was torched in the violence that swept across towns and cities in England over the summer.

Hundreds of people joined the lantern parade ahead of its official reopening on Thursday, following a £250,000 fundraising campaign which attracted royal and national support.

As Spellow Lane lit up for the first time in months, libraries across the country also shined a light to show Liverpool their support.
