Activists scale Nelson's Column in protest over London's 'toxic' air: Protesters from environmental campaign group Greenpeace have scaled Nelson’s Column in a protest over air pollution in London. The group gathered at the Trafalgar Square statue at around 4.10am before starting its ascent, police said. Greenpeace said two of their activists, Alison Garrigan, 29, and 30-year-old Luke Jones had scaled the 171ft statue to fit it with an "emergency face mask". Ms Garrigan was one of six women who climbed up the Shard for the protest group in 2013.
