Terracotta soldiers masked

The British Museum is reviewing its security procedures after an eco-protester put face masks on two members of the Chinese Terracotta Army.

Martin Wyness, 49, from Hereford, climbed over a barrier stretching around the 2,000-year-old precious exhibits to draw attention to China’s polluting record.

He was marched out by security guards and, he says, banned from the museum for life.
