Man tackled by police in front of King Charles's car

A man has been tackled to the ground by police as King Charles's car approached on its way to Buckingham Palace. Several officers were seen jumping the barriers to take down the man on The Mall.

Video shared on social media showed six Met Police officers running towards the man close to one of the barriers in London. The man was dragged to the ground and handcuffed.

After being searched the man was led away by a police officer before a van arrived and he was placed inside. The same video then showed the King inside his Rolls Royce waving at the crowds as he made his way to Buckingham Palace from this morning's ceremony at St James's Palace.

Camilla smiled and waived to well-wishers as she arrived at Buckingham Palace in a separate convoy. The King will receive the Prime Minister, members of the Cabinet and opposition leaders later this afternoon.

Education Secretary Kit Malthouse and Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg walked through the gates of Buckingham Palace, while other Cabinet ministers were driven in ahead of their audience with the King. Security minister Tom Tugendhat has also arrived at Buckingham Palace
