Piers Corbyn has again been arrested for deying orders banning public gatherings in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
The coronavirus conspiracy theorist, 73, was pictured in handcuffs being led away by Metropolitan Police officers in Bishops Park, Fulham, West London, on Saturday.
The brother of former Labour leader Jeremy was among dozens of people who had gathered in defiance of the current lockdown, to march in promotion of his campaign to be elected mayor of London.
Other images showed people dancing in front of a banner which read, Let London Live which is Corbyn s anti-lockdown slogan for the mayoral election.

A Bow man and the brother of former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have been arrested over leaflets comparing the Covid vaccine to the holocaust.
The sick leaflets depict a drawing of the Nazi death camp Auschwitz, changing the words above its gate from ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’, meaning ‘work sets you free’, to “vaccines are safe path to freedom”.
It also uses the Evening Standard s masthead as part of the poster design.
The leaflet, distributed in south London last month, credits its concept to 73-year-old Piers Corbyn, while the drawing is attributed to Alexander Heaton, from Bow.
