Monday’s front pages continue the coverage of ongoing riots sweeping across the UK as far-right protesters take to the streets in reaction to the killing of three young girls in Southport. 

The protesters have destroyed buildings, fought with police, set cars on fire and looted stores. 

Most of the papers feature dramatic images of the damage from the rioters. There is also front-page coverage of the Olympics – but the detailed coverage of Day 9 covers the back pages.
