Fifteen people were arrested after police were forced to drag climate change protesters out of the road during the Lord Mayor’s Show on Saturday.
Thousands of spectators gathered to watch the three mile long procession of 125 floats through the City of London.
But police were forced hold back Extinction Rebellion protesters who tried to walk in front of the parade.
At one point, a woman with brown hair walked into the road and confronted participants in front of shocked onlookers.
Officers were also photographed dragging many activists out of the way after they lay down and refused to move.
The event, which dates back to the 13th Century, was cancelled last year for the first time since 1852 due to Covid-19.
