Royal fans and police have clashed with Just Stop Oil protesters on The Mall. Onlookers sang the national anthem as the demonstrators shouted messages about climate change and the right to protest. Some people approached protesters who were wearing handcuffs and told them to "shut up".
Other onlookers heckled the group and laughed at them. There is a large police presence as the protesters wearing Just Stop Oil T-shirts are held against railings on The Mall.
Just Stop Oil claimed approximately 13 demonstrators have been arrested. A spokeswoman for the campaign group said five demonstrators were also arrested at Downing Street. She said the group's plan was "only to display T-shirts and flags", adding: "This is a dystopian nightmare."

"The individuals have been held on suspicion of breaching the peace. Earlier today we arrested four people in the area of St Martin's Lane.
"They were held on suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance. We seized lock-on devices. A further three people were arrested in the area of Wellington Arch.
"They were held on suspicion of possessing articles to cause criminal damage. There will be further updates later today."
The ceremonial route has been lined by 45 half companies from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, British Army and Royal Airforce.
