Three questioned by police for Buckingham Palace protest
Four climate change activists are being questioned by police after scaling the gates of Buckingham Palace and chaining themselves to the railings.
Three men and one woman who said they represented the Climate Siren group locked themselves to the centre gate, wearing t-shirts with the words "climate emergency. 10% annual emission cuts,".
Two of them held a banner carrying a quote from the Prince of Wales reading: "The doomsday clock of climate change is ticking ever faster towards midnight. We are simply not reacting quickly enough."
The four were removed by police using a cherry-picker.
