Just Stop Oil protesters disrupt BBC Proms opening night

Activists demanded the Government to halt all new oil and gas consents and licences as they set off confetti and blared air horns on stage

Just Stop Oil protesters interrupted the opening night of the BBC Proms on Friday, as two activists climbed onto the stage and set off confetti cannons and sounded air horns.

The protesters attempted to address the audience at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday, drawing boos from the crowd, before being removed from the stage.

The environmental group, known for its recent disruptive protests at events including Wimbledon, said the action came in response to “underwhelming” coverage of climate change by the BBC.

Just Stop Oil activists also stormed a live recording of Channel 4’s The Last Leg on Friday night.
