‘Not our President!’ Tens of thousands march through US streets in protest against Donald Trump

America has been rocked by a series of protests against the shock election of Donald Trump as US President.

Huge crowds gathered in cities across the country after the divisive property tycoon secured victory against Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s election.

But the most significant show of defiance came in Trump’s home city of New York, where an estimated 10,000 people gathered on the streets surrounding Trump Tower to voice their opposition to the president elect.

Other protests came in Chicago, where demonstrators gathered outside the Chicago Trump Tower for similarly impassioned scenes.

Here’s a gallery of some of the most striking images of the night.
