The final stage of one of the world's most prestigious cycling races has been cancelled due to Palestinian solidarity protests.
Protesters knocked down barriers and blocked roads at the La Vuelta competition on the final leg in central Madrid.
More than 1,500 police officers were deployed in a bid to control the protests
Throughout the three-week race, hundreds of protesters have objected to the participation of Israel's Premier Tech team.
Lily Mayers is a freelance journalist in Madrid, and she says the protests have brought an historic end to an historic event.
