The head of London’s police said she is reviewing their response after activists commandeered the Cenotaph memorial to the war dead for half an hour on Armistice Day.

Just 100 yards away from armed police at Downing Street, two climate change protesters hung up a banner on the fence around the memorial and picked their way past rows of poppy wreaths to place their own message-bearing wreath in pride of place on the stone.
