Footage captured on Tuesday (October 15) of two Extinction Rebellion protesters being arrested at the gates of Buckingham Palace after lying down in front of them.

The protesters did not appear to be glued or locked on to the gates or each other, as has been common amongst protesters at other locations in London.

It is believed the protesters are part of the XR Grandparents movement, who can be heard chanting "I'd rather be a crustie than extinct" in this footage.

Extinction Rebellion Autumn Uprising protests in London have been banned by the police as of last night at 9 pm.
