Protesters carry a long yellow banner during a march with an umbrella — a recent symbol of Hong Kong’s democracy movement — painted on it during a march to mark Christmas Eve on December 24, 2014. The city’s democracy campaigners took to the streets in the first large rally after pro-democracy protest camps, which occupied major streets for over two months, were swept away.
