There have been angry scenes outside a London court after an inquest jury concluded that Mark Duggan was lawfully killed by police.

Mourners turned out today to bid a final farewell to the police shooting victim whose death sparked the first night of devastating riots across England.

WHO ever said nothing ever happens in August? The riots in Britain have caused bewilderment and outrage in equal measure. The image of London has been severely damaged. But before the media turns to its next big thing, there are a few points worth bearing in mind about what we have seen on our TV screens.

THE riot that tore through parts of north London’s deprived Tottenham neighbourhood has cast a pall over Britain’s capital, echoing an earlier era of racial unrest, while spreading malaise through a city preparing to host the Olympic Games.

Up to 26 British police officers were being treated in hospital today following riots which broke out in north London two days after a man was shot dead by police.
