Six Greenpeace protesters who scaled Britain's tallest building are in police custody after being arrested over the stunt.
The group of female activists reached the top of the Shard in central London on Thursday evening following 15 hours of climbing in protest at oil drilling in the Arctic.
On reaching the top of the 72-storey building, two of the campaigners unfurled a 10 metre by 10 metre blue flag with 'Save the Arctic' written in white across it.
They were later arrested by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of aggravated trespass.
The women, who evaded security guards to begin their climb in the early morning, said it was intended to put Shell and other oil companies in the spotlight.
The demonstrators live-streamed the climb from helmet cameras, with birds-eye views of their ascent broadcast live at www.iceclimb.savethearctic.org.
