A mural by the street artist Banksy is being removed from the wall of a court building in London.
The mural appeared on an external wall of the Queen's Building, in the Royal Courts of Justice complex, on Monday.
The image depicted a protester lying on the ground holding a blood-spattered placard while a judge, in a wig and gown, looms over him, wielding a gavel.
The work has been covered up at various points since it was discovered and guarded by security staff, with the HM Courts & Tribunals Service confirming that it would be removed due to the building being listed and therefore legally protected.
