He will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow. Scotland Yard said that more than a hundred protesters were arrested altogether.

The Prime Minister, meanwhile, was urging shoppers to spend as non-essential stores re-open in England tomorrow. He added that people must continue to respect social distancing measures. It came as a further 36 deaths from coronavirus were announced in the past 24 hours. It brought the UK death toll - across all settings - to 41,698.
