Gay rights activists have disrupted the Easter sermon of England's most senior clergyman.
Six banner-waving protestors climbed into the pulpit at Canterbury Cathedral and jostled Archbishop George Carey before being dragged away by police.
The protest was organised by the gay rights pressure group Outrage which has been angered by Carey's opposition to proposals to lower the age of consent for homosexuals.
UPSOUND: Peter Tatchell, gay rights campaigner
"Dr Carey supports discrimination against lesbian and gay people. He opposes lesbian and gay human rights. This is not a Christian teaching."
