Greenpeace protesters reach summit of The Shard in London
Greenpeace protesters have climbed to the summit of London's Shard - the tallest building in western Europe.
Two of them then unfurled a blue flag with "Save the Arctic" written on it.
The charity said it was protesting against plans to drill in the Arctic by the oil company Shell, although the firm said drilling there was "not new".
Six climbers accessed the Shard by climbing on to the roof of London Bridge Station. They were later arrested, the Met Police said.
