- Norwich saw a third night of disorder, including an incident where residents taking down a banner sheltered in the Fat Cat pub as a group gathered outside; officers said no offences were disclosed in that episode and are monitoring the area.
- Fresh St George’s crosses were painted on a road crossing by Chapelfield Gardens in Norwich, adding to complaints about intimidation and illegal markings on the highway.
- City of York Council will remove unauthorised flags and clean graffiti at an estimated cost of about £250,000, citing recent racist abuse and community harm; Flag Force UK says volunteers will promptly replace any taken down.
