Picture gallery: Tiananmen 10 years on

Chinese soldiers march into Beijing's Tiananmen Square to raise the national flag at dawn.

A Chinese man holds up an umbrella with protest slogans painted on it, reading "Remember the 10th anniversary of the student movement" and "Privatise: Give all state property to the people."

The umbrella protester is dragged away by the police.

A man wearing a T-shirt with protest slogans is tackled by a military policeman after throwing leaflets in Tiananmen Square. A plain clothes officer runs to the scene.

The demonstrator was protesting against official corruption, a key complaint of the 1989 protesters.
