This photo of 'Umbrella Man' from the #OccupyCentral protests in Hong Kong is destined to be one of those images we see over and over again, possibly for years.
Numerous photos show the protesters - who are upset at Beijing's restrictions on democracy - holding up umbrellas to protect themselves from tear gas.
The images have caused the protest to be dubbed the Umbrella Revolution in both the media, and by protesters themselves.
