A man has been arrested after eggs were thrown at the King and Queen Consort during a visit to York.

A protester was restrained by police as crowds gathered at Micklegate Bar, the traditional royal entrance into the city, to greet the couple.

He was heard to shout "this country was built on the blood of slaves" as he was restrained.

North Yorkshire Police said a man, 23, was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and remained in custody.
