A record number of right-wing protesters stormed through the eastern German city of Dresden for the latest in a series of anti-Islam demonstrations that have alarmed the country's politicians.
Police estimated that some 17,500 people attended Monday's rally, staged by the group calling itself Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West, or Pegida. This week, the protest was billed as a carol-singing gathering in front of the Semperoper opera house.
Those numbers would make it the biggest gathering since Pegida's weekly protests started in October.
An estimated 4,500 people demonstrated in Dresden against Pegida in a counter-demonstration, while some 12,000 also protested against it in Munich.
