1h 18min, mar 8, 2025 y - Big Ben Palestinian Flag
Description:
A man who climbed up Big Ben's Elizabeth Tower carrying a Palestinian flag has been brought down after more than 16 hours.
The barefoot man had made his way on to a ledge several metres up the tower at the Palace of Westminster on Saturday morning.
He had been heard telling negotiators he would come down on his "own terms".
Emergency crews went up in a crane to negotiate with him, and the intruder eventually came down in the cherry picker after Big Ben struck midnight.
