Description:

Religious leaders in a town which has seen disorder have said the "scale and level of violence" across the country has "shaken communities to the core".

Smoke bombs and other missiles were thrown during unrest in Bolton town centre on Sunday, with lines of police separating two groups, one including mainly Asian men and the other waving England flags.

Rabnawaz Akbar from the Manchester Council of Mosques said he wanted to reassure people that those who "feel diversity is a strength far, far outnumber those who seek to divide".

Bishop of Salford, John Arnold, whose diocese includes Bolton, also said violence on the streets came from a "small, vocal minority".
