Across the world, tens of thousands of school pupils took to the streets on Friday protesting over governments' action to climate change.

The last strikes on March 15 saw an estimated 1.5 million young people walking out of classrooms in more than 120 countries, and this protest was set to be even larger.

In the UK, there were 125 strikes, twice as many as March.
