ANTI-war protestors have held a demonstration in Belfast ahead of US President Joe Biden's arrival in the city.
The protest at Belfast City Hall took place hours before Mr Biden was due to arrive as part of a four-day visit to Ireland.
Organised by the Belfast Anti-War Group, the demonstration was described as a protest to say 'no to Biden, no to war'.
The group, describing themselves as 'socialist activists', was set up to oppose the war in Ukraine, with members calling for Russian troops to leave the country and also calling for the disbandment of NATO, which it has accused of "increasing tensions in the region".
Tuesday's gathering in Belfast was also to highlight calls to free Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who remains in custody in London fighting attempts to extradite him to the US to face charges over the leaking of documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Attendees also carried Cuban flags and a banner condemning Israeli actions in Palestine.
The Biden protest comes ahead of a mini-conference by the organizers on the Ukraine conflict which is due to take place at Queen's University later this month.
