This is the powerful moment a protester jumped onto the pedestal where the statue of Edward Colston stood in Bristol moments after it was ripped down.

The clip, filmed today (June 7) shows the moment a protester climbed onto the ledge during the Black Lives Matter protest to make a speech about equality.

"I know this moment will feel so black and white, I know that but we are not about a divide, this moment is about what? It's about unity!" the man can be heard saying in the video.
