Protesters stormed and ransacked the country's embassy in central Tehran on Tuesday, as well as a residential compound in the north of the city.

They chanted 'Death to Britain', burnt the Union Jack and destroyed portraits of the Queen.

The demonstrations were in response to the UK government's recent ban on banks doing business with the Islamic Republic.
