Just Stop Oil have smashed the glass protecting the Magna Carta before glueing their hands together.
Footage shows Reverend Dr Sue Parfitt, 82, and Judy Bruce, 85, using a hammer and chisel to break the glass which covers the historical document at the British Library.
The pair glued their hands together after holding up a sign reading: ‘The government is breaking the law.’
It does not appear the glass was shattered.
Security is heard asking, ‘Can you stop doing that please?’ before the pair respond: ‘No.’
They then begin chanting, ‘We must stop oil’ before sitting down and rubbing glue on their hands.
