A millionaire's daughter, teacher and a lifeguard have already appeared in court over the violence around England

A millionaire's daughter, teacher and a lifeguard have already appeared in court over the violence around England - as hundreds more face magistrates.

On Wednesday, courts in London began working through the night in order to process the unprecedented number of people charged.
Thursday will see proceedings take place in Westminster, Birmingham and Manchester.
Defendants range from a 11-year-old boy - charged for stealing a bin from Debenhams - to men in their 40s.
The 11-year-old, from Romford, is one of a minority who have been sent home on bail.

Sky's Lia Hervey described the judge at Croydon Magistrates Court on Wednesday as being extremely unforgiving, denying most defendants bail in favour remaining in custody or being electronically tagged.
Laura Johnson, 19, appeared at Bexleyheath Magistrates Court charged in connection with the theft of £5,000-worth of goods from a Comet store in Charlton, south London.
Miss Johnson, an English and Italian student at the University of Exeter, is the daughter of successful businessman Robert Johnson, a director of a several high-profile companies.

Aaron Mulholland, a 30-year-old lifeguard at a health club, wept as his lawyer told the court his client had "learned his lesson" after a night in the cells.
A large number of those appearing had no previous convictions, incuding a 14-year-old girl - who cannot be named - charged with stealing cameras from Argos.
Alexis Bailey, a 31-year-old teaching assistant at Stockwell primary school in south London, was arrested in a Richer Sounds store in Croydon late Monday night.

More than 1,000 people have been arrested since disorder started on Saturday.
He was released on conditional bail after pleading guilty to burglary with intent to steal.
Natasha Reed, an aspiring social worker from Edmonton, admitted stealing a JVC television worth £299.99 from a Comet store on Saturday night.
Sky reporter Nick Martin, at Westminster Magistrates, said the 24-year-old held her head in her hands as she sat in the dock after having handed herself in on Wednesday.
Defending Andre Billington said: "She was arrested. She said she couldn't sleep thinking about what she had done."
Most have so far pleaded guilty admitting that thefts were "opportunistic" and a case of "getting caught up" in the disorder.
Several cases were referred to the Crown Court, which will mean longer sentences for the perpetrators as magistrates can only hand out sentences a maximum of six months.
At the Crown Court, riot charges can carry a jail term of up to 10 years.
