Police were forced to act as protesters invaded the Mall today - just minutes before the Queen's Jubilee celebrations kicked off.
The Express reported that police had to drag protestors away after they climbed over barriers to storm The Mall ahead of Trooping the Colour. It happened just moments before members of the Royal Family were due to arrive.
Two invaders were filmed apparently attempting to blend in with the guards who were marching along the road. Prince Charles arrived moments later at the Horse Guards Parade ahead of the ceremony, which is due to take place today. One of the protestors was wearing a crown which was bent by police officers who dragged the person away from the event, reported Nottinghamshire Live.
