A young protester took part in a demonstration at the new Heathrow Terminal Five (T5) today to show her opposition to aviation growth.

Esme Needham, three, from Hastings, joined mum Andrea and about 250 others in the "flash mob" protest today.

The demonstration involved people stripping off their outer clothes at 11am to reveal red T-shirts underneath.

The bright red shirts were emblazoned with the slogan "Stop Airport Expansion".

Watched over by many police officers - some of them armed - the protesters staged their demonstration in the arrivals hall at the new £4.3 billion terminal.

Andrea, said: "We are here to show our opposition to general airport expansion."
