Two men have been jailed for their part in the riots that followed the killings of three young girls in Southport.
John O’Malley, 43, and William Nelson Morgan, 69, were both jailed for 32 months after pleading guilty to violent disorder.
O’Malley was among a group of up to 1,000 people involved in disorder outside a mosque in the Merseyside town last Tuesday.
Morgan was part of a group of around 100 people who set fire to bins, threw bricks, damaged local businesses, and set fire to other buildings in Walton.
He also admitted possessing an offensive weapon.
This was the first televised sentencing of those who took part in the rioting.
