ECO warriors from Extinction Rebellion have been wreaking havoc in London as part of their climate change protests.

       Activists marched through the capital with placards, banners and sashes urging people to "save the planet" - and there is more chaos to come.

       Thousands of demonstrators this morning met outside the Tate Modern before moving across the Millennium Bridge.

       Demonstrators continued as far as The Bank of England on Queen Victoria St, where they blocked the road.

       Police were forced to intervene with some protesters who had climbed on a building on Lower Thames Street.

       A police spokesperson said: “A number of officers are on scene working to keep disruption in the area to a minimum.

       “We will keep you updated with any further developments.”

       Road closures were put in place on all approaches to Bank junction, including King William Street, Cornhill, Threadneedle Street, Princes Street, Poultry and Queen Victoria Street.

       The group are demanding the Government stop investing in fossil fuels as part of their "beautiful, creative" protest - and are using drastic tactics for attention.

       These have included putting up a giant pink table in Seven Dials as well as offshoot Animal Rebellion covering a Buckingham Palace fountain in fake blood.

       Police have predicted the demonstrations will cause "cause significant disruption to London" and will pull cops away from tackling bloody crime in the capital.

       Where are Extinction Rebellion tomorrow?

       Today marks the eleventh consecutive day of action as part of XR's two-week “Impossible Rebellion”.

       It is taking place in the run-up to the UN's COP26 summit.

       More action is due for September 3, with the group declaring: "Occupations continue, High Impact Actions building pressure across the week to a finale, Digital Rebellion, and Hubs continue!"
