The street behind Belfast City Hall filled with smoke as police came under attack

Fifteen police officers have been injured during rioting at Belfast City Hall on Monday night.

It followed the passing of a vote to change the council's policy of flying the union flag all year round.

A loyalist protest outside the building erupted into violence minutes after the motion was passed. Disorder also broke out in east Belfast.

Council staff removed the flag at 07:00 GMT on Tuesday. It will now only be flown on 17 designated days.
