Four climate change activists were arrested today after scaling the gates of Buckingham Palace and chaining themselves to the railings.
The four were removed by police using a cherry-picker more than four hours later as officers brought the protest to an end.
A Metrropolitan Police spokesman said:
"At approximately 2.05pm on Saturday June 23, four protesters - three men and one woman - climbed the centre gate and south centre gate at Buckingham Palace and secured themselves to the railings with chains.
"Police attended and by around 6.35pm all the protesters had been removed and arrested under SOCPA (the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act) and for breaching section 4 of the Royal Parks and Other Open Spaces Regulations 1997.
"They have been taken to various central London police stations where they remain in custody."
