Two Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested after damaging the case around the Magna Carta at the British Library.
Reverend Sue Parfitt, 82, and Judy Bruce, 85, a retired biology teacher, targeted the glass enclosure around the historic document on Friday.
The pair then held up a sign reading "The Government is breaking the law" before gluing themselves to the display, footage posted online shows.
The British Library said security had "intervened to prevent further damage".
The Metropolitan Police said two people had been taken into custody having been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.
The British Library said the damage to the case, which was caused at about 10:40 BST, was "minimal" and police said the document itself was not harmed.

Just stop, we will not lower ourselves to thier level by harming innocent people or animals.
But I do think making them watch the torching a brand new Tesla would be in order.
WRONG! Do unto others, first. There is no longer a bright red line between a terrorist's family and the rest of civilization. They are just another target.
We have to get 'em where THEY hurt. Perhaps they will rethink before they kill our families. Note how the palis are reacting to total retaliation.
Haha...we found it in inlaws basement...still not sure of its providence.
It is very difficult to read...but very cool to have.
They should both be in a nursing home with 24/7 supervision, for their own safety and protection, so they are no longer a danger to themselves or others. They cannot be trusted to live alone without supervision.
They prove their ABOMINABLE lives are not worth freedom.
I agree!
These sorry excuses for humans have no respect for a treasured piece of history that has changed British life since 1215.
They should be blinded and then put in separate cells.
If only someone could put super glue on their vibrators.
They should’ve done what the Germans did to one of their environmental protesters who glued himself to the street: cut out whatever these demented old bitches were glued to, and leave it glued to them.
Jeez! It’s bad enough when dumb young people get caught up in this nonsense.
Just leave them glued to that sacred document case until they rot. Problem solved, but pay the clean up crew double time for cleaning up a vile residue.
Were any oil based compounds used for the ink / printing on those posters? Their clothing? Their glasses? Any medications they are taking? Etc.
now that it is damaged, maybe king Charles can execute those folks at the towers of london, and open to public.
Where was security? Could nit that one guard have stopped 2 old frail ladies?
