Watch: Francis Key Scott statue toppled in San Francisco

US protesters pulled down a statue of Francis Scott Key in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on Friday night. Key wrote a poem after witnessing a huge American flag being hoisted after a victory over the British during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. That poem became "The Star-Spangled Banner", the national anthem of the US. Key and his family had links to slavery. Anti-racism demonstrations are continuing across the US following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
