Orange powder was let off from a fire extinguisher, stopping the wedding party as they left the church.
The aftermath of the protest where Just Stop Oil campaigners let off orange powder paint following the Duke of Westminster's wedding to Olivia Henson
One of the two women was heard to say “Just Stop Oil” as the device was released, after the duke and his new bride Olivia Henson kissed for the crowds.The campaign group has since claimed responsibility for the protest, saying two of its supporters had used fire extinguishers to project powder paint near the entrance to Chester Cathedral as the newlyweds made their way to a Bentley car.
A second protester Sheila, 69, from Bristol, who worked as an NHS nurse for 50 years, was quoted as saying: “What do we value most? The wealth of billionaires like the Duke of Westminster or the lives of the billions who are being destroyed by the fossil fuel industry? “The police realised quite quickly what was happening and pulled them out. One of them said it was for her grandchildren. It happened just as William was coming out of the door.”
