A large crowd gathered in Manchester, on Friday, to show their support for Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Supporters held signs and placards that read "Keep Corbyn" and "Left wing and proud!"
Addressing the crowd, one member of left-wing political group Momentum said, "Jeremy's been on our side and now it's our turn for us to be on his. I want to welcome you all and encourage you all to get involved in Manchester Momentum and the Labour Party."
Corbyn has faced increasing pressure from MPs in his own party to resign, following the outcome of the UK's referendum on continued membership of the European Union. A vote of no confidence saw 172 MPs in favour of him stepping down, but he has refused, claiming that doing so would mean betraying the 250,000 people that voted him in as leader.
