Police arrested two men and a woman thought to have been plotting to disrupt the royal wedding
12 April 2012
Protesters thought to have been planning to behead effigies at the royal wedding have been arrested, sources said.
Police seized a guillotine as they arrested two men - aged 68 and 45 - and a 68-year-old woman thought to have been plotting disruption on the big day.
It is understood one of the men arrested is Chris Knight, 68, head of the anti-royal anarchist group The Government of the Dead.
The arrests in Brockley, south-east London, come after officers warned there would be a number of pre-emptive arrests on the eve of the big day.
The trio were being held in a south London police station.
Scotland Yard, which has vowed to deal "robustly" with suspected troublemakers, is believed to be concerned about activities by anarchist groups.
