Greece rolls out the red carpet for Angela Merkel - pictures

A protester holds a placard of Angela Merkel wearing a Hitler moustache near the Greek parliament in Athens during a demonstration against the visit of the German Chancellor today. Riot police fired tear gas and stun grenades at a crowd after they attempted to pull down a barrier outside parliament to get to Merkel, who is a hate figure for Greeks opposed to the austerity measures imposed on the country by the EU and IMF in return for bail-out money.
