Just Stop Oil protesters disrupted the opening night of the BBC Proms, setting off confetti cannons and sounding air horns before being removed from the stage.
The Independent reports that the protesters attempted to address the audience at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday (14 July), drawing boos from the crowd.
The environmental group tweeted that the action was "in response to the BBC’s underwhelming coverage of the climate emergency".
"In recent weeks, the BBC has been accused of ‘false balance’ as well as uncritically regurgitating government and oil company propaganda."
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer tweeted: “Eco zealots shouldn’t disrupt sports events, weddings or the Proms.
“My message is this: Leave people to enjoy the events they love, and stop damaging your own cause.”
