Another banner that he had attached to the scaffolding today said, "Black and all life are important to unite the peoples of the world, to unite and to put things in order."

The scene was created by Twitter user & # 39; L Zalite & # 39; spotted an NHS midwife who snapped a picture at 8:02 a.m. and tweeted, & # 39; How to Talk When It Matters #BigBen #lockdownUK. & # 39;

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “At about 7:50 am a man climbed onto scaffolding around Elizabeth Tower. Officers are there and act. & # 39;
