Just Stop Oil protesters have disrupted Gatwick Airport after activists stormed its terminal during busy summer holiday travel season.

The climate group said seven of its supporters have entered the Southern terminal to block the departure gates on Monday morning.

The activists were pictured sitting on the floor just yards away from the queue for the security checks as frustrated passengers tried to squeeze past them.

It comes after one of the busiest weekends for summer holiday travel in the UK.

Elsewhere, passengers on the Tube were hit by disruption after severe delays on the Metropolitan and Northern lines.
