At least 100 officers greeted protesters today, many of whom had camped overnight at Parliament after travelling across the country in convoy to protest against vaccine mandates and the Government's response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Protesters have tried to breach the gates of parliament, prompting a wall of police to make arrests.

At least two people have been put in handcuffs and led away by police.

A speaker earlier in the day said he intended to walk up Parliament's steps at 3pm, and encouraged others to join him.

The crowd show no signs of retreating despite the heavy police presence and trespass notice.
