Two activists have been arrested after a marble bust of Queen Victoria in Glasgow was vandalism with jam, porridge and spray paint.
A swear word was daubed in bright pink paint onto the plinth at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum on Sunday at around noon.
The protest was allegedly staged by two individuals from campaign group This Is Rigged as they blasted skyrocketing food prices.
The group claim they want to draw attention to the 'extreme cost of living crisis' as well as 'greed shown by private companies and executives'.

As Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, celebrates his 60th birthday on March 10, 2024, his profile within the British monarchy has surged, particularly in the wake of King Charles III's health crisis and other family controversies. Edward and his much-admired wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, stand in stark contrast to the family’s black sheep.These include Edward’s brother Prince Andrew, sullied by the Epstein scandal, and toxic Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who must be kept at arm's length lest the family’s private affairs be sold to the highest bidder for financial enrichment and maximum damage infliction. Edward is the youngest child of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
After a difficult few years for the Royal Family with the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and the reduced number of working royals following the departures of the Duke of York and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, one royal has truly stepped up to the plate. Known for carrying on his father's role with the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme and his passions for the arts, Prince Edward has truly come into his own in the last few years and become a key source of support for The King.
The Duke of Edinburgh is one of the hardest working members of the Royal Family and often goes without the worthy recognition. Prince Edward and his wife Sophie make up two of the seven-strong line up of senior royals who can represent The King - alongside the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal. While Prince Edward was incredibly important to his mother, the late Queen, and was often regarded as one of her closest family members, his time growing up at Buckingham Palace sounds far from perfect.
