A topless protester has run past the crowd at Windsor Castle and shouted "save the planet" after a minute's silence was held for Prince Philip.

A DPA reporter said the woman appeared to try and break through security barriers.

Others at the scene said she jumped onto a nearby statue of Queen Victoria.

The protester was placed in handcuffs by police and has been seen being removed from the site.
