A controlled explosion has taken place outside Buckingham Palace this evening after a man was detained by police.
In a statement released by the Metropolitan Police, the force said they had arrested a man after he threw a number of items, suspected to be shotgun cartridges, into the palace grounds.
He was also said to be in possession of a suspicious bag. A controlled explosion was conducted as a 'precaution', Scotland Yard said, and the detonation was heard live on GB News.
