Palestine Expo, an event held to raise awareness on key Palestinian issues as well as celebrating the culture of its people, moved online this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The conference, now in its fourth year and the biggest Palestine heritage event in Europe, is organised by the UK-based non-profit organisation Friends of Al-Aqsa.
Covering an array of topics, including history, food, arts and culture, the two-day event, with over 350,000 people tuning in, gave viewers an insight into the Palestinian experience and heritage.
However, it was the issue of Israel's planned annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank that dominated much of the proceedings.
