Activists scale UK Palace

It is understood that Queen Elizabeth II and husband Prince Philip were not at the palace
London: Scotland Yard arrested two men who scaled the roof of a building at Buckingham Palace in a protest over fathers’ rights. Martin Matthews, 48, and Bobby Smith, 33, used a ladder to gain access to the Queen’s Gallery, which forms part of the palace complex open to the public in central London. It is understood that Queen Elizabeth II and husband Prince Philip were not at the palace.
The men sat on a roof about 18 feet high at the entrance of the public art gallery, which is located on a road to the side of the main gate to Buckingham Palace. They were campaigning over rights for fathers in divorce and separation proceedings and the reform of the family courts. The two men were later arrested.
