Just Stop Oil protesters have thrown orange powder on the Natural History Museum's huge replica dinosaur in their latest stunt.

The Titanosaur: Life as the Biggest Dinosaur exhibition was closed on Thursday 26 October after two men, both medics, staged a protest beneath the 121ft replica skeleton.

Dr Will Stableforth, a consultant gastroenterologist, and Steve Fay, a physiotherapist, covered the gigantic model in orange cornstarch.

They were also seen holding a banner that read: “For health’s sake Just Stop Oil.”

"FYI the skeleton is a replica. we face losing more than replica bones if new oil and gas goes ahead," a statement from Just Stop Oil read, after the incident.
