Protest march over cuts to arts
Hundreds of people marched through the streets of Norwich to protest at cuts to the arts across the East of England.

Organisations face the prospect of losing all their Arts Council England funding next year.

Those under threat include the Norwich Puppet Theatre, Community Music East, King's Lynn Arts Centre and Momentum Arts in Cambridge.

The Arts Council England will make a decision on cuts in the East, which could be as much as £1m, next week.

Protesters marched to City Hall on Saturday led by the Norwich Samba Band.
