Rooftop protest enters third day

Convicted killer Stuart Horner remains on the roof of HMP Manchester after a cold, wet night. Supporters took to the streets at the prison formerly known as Strangeways and joined the demonstrations against alleged poor conditions at the site. Horner claims he and other inmates locked up for 23 hours a day.

The murderer who was jailed for 27 years for killing his uncle scaled an 18ft fence on Sunday afternoon and has stayed there ever since.

Last night fireworks were set off over the prison and DJ turned out to entertain the crowd that had gathered outside.
