Activists calling for more rights for fathers have climbed on the roof of an art gallery on the grounds of Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth’s residence in London.

A spokesman for the activists who declined to be named said two men had scaled the roof of the Queen’s Gallery, a public gallery at the palace, and displayed a banner which read: “I am Harry's dad”.

The stunt was part of a campaign by groups Fathers Justice and Stop The War on Dads.
