  • Tens of thousands of public sector workers have taken part in a UK-wide strike in protest at proposed changes to their pensions.
  • More than 30,000 off-duty police officers also marched in central London in protest at budget cuts and proposed pay and conditions changes.
  • Ministers say current pension schemes are unaffordable but unions say changes mean members will pay more and work longer for less.
