A man holding a Palestinian flag was seen climbing the Elizabeth Tower, which houses Big Ben, in London on Saturday (today).

A fire engine raised a cherry picker to the same height as the man to allow negotiators to persuade him to come down.

A Met Police spokesperson said: "At 7:24 a.m. on Saturday, March 8, officers were alerted to a man climbing the Elizabeth Tower at the Houses of Parliament."

"Officers are at the scene working to bring the incident to a safe conclusion. They are being assisted by the London Fire Brigade and the London Ambulance Service."
