LONDON — Several protesters with the group Fathers4Justice climbed on the roof at Buckingham Palace Sunday.
ITV reports: “Martin Matthews, 48, and Bobby Smith, 33, used a ladder to breach security after another campaigner caused a distraction outside the palace, a spokesman for the activists said.
They scaled the roof of the Queen’s Gallery, a public art gallery at Buckingham Palace, at around 3.15pm and held a banner which read: “I am Harry’s dad”, according to the spokesman.
The Metropolitan Police said they had been called at 4.30pm. They described it as “an ongoing situation” and said no one had been arrested.”
A message read: “Fathers rights protesters climb into BUCKINGHAM PALACE IN PROTEST OF FATHERS NOT SEEING THEIR CHILDREN #stopthewarondads #newfathers4justice ”
No further details were available.
(Buckingham Palace is the London residence and principal workplace of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom.)
