From LA to New York, "Not My President's Day" protests erupt against Trump

Thousands of people took to the streets on Monday to take part in ‘not my Presidents’ Day’ protests against Donald Trump. 

Planned marches took place in New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Chicago and Salt Lake City while unofficial demonstrations with the same theme cropped up elsewhere.

Tens of thousands of people were expected at the Los Angeles event and nearly 50,000 are due to turn out in New York City. 

Here are some scenes from the protests.
