This is the moment a couple appear to get married on Westminster Bridge during a huge Extinction Rebellion demonstration.
The pair, who are believed to have been protesting, were snapped in an embrace on an action site demonstrators dubbed The Beacon, one of 12 places around key government locations targeted today.
While Westminster Bridge doesn't hold licences to host weddings, witnesses said they couple hitched there – after parts of the capital came to a standstill .
The couple, who have not been named, were cheered on by other protesters and some threw what appeared to be pink flowers.
Others enjoyed an impromptu cricket game outside the Supreme Court as the streets rang with drumming, whistles and chanting. Dozens of tents were erected on the roads and yoga classes took place on Westminster Bridge.
