Two people have been charged in connection with an incident at Stonehenge in June, when an orange substance was thrown at the stones.

Stonehenge was vandalised by protestors at around noon on the eve of the Summer Solstice celebrations. Protestors sprayed orange paint on some of the landmark's stones.

At the time, Just Stop Oil said they were "Demanding that the incoming UK government commit to working with other governments to agree an equitable plan to end the extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030."

Wiltshire Police say they have been authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service to charge Rajan Naidu, 73, of Gosford Street, Birmingham, and Niamh Lynch, 22, of Norfolk Road, Bedford, with destroying or damaging an ancient protected monument, and intentionally or recklessly causing a public nuisance.

They have been bailed to appear at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court on December 13th.
