Extinction Rebellion protests have performed a theatrical "die in" at Parliament Square as they returned to London for a second day.

Activists posed as corpses outside Parliament this morning, while a silent protest is also planned outside Buckingham Palace.

Various stunts are due to take place throughout the day, including a "theatrical" display highlighting "how the climate crisis is causing death".

It comes after ninety arrests were made at an Extinction Rebellion demonstration in Parliament Square yesterday.

Eco campaigners sitting in the middle of the road were carried away by cops.

Protesters chanted and cheered as the officers took them away to nearby police vans.

At least one was held on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.

Actor Sir Mark Rylance, 60, was seen at the 3,000-strong rally.

The protest was first mass action by the group since an event planned for earlier this year was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
