Police have detained two people after confetti was thrown over a court at Wimbledon, forcing play to be suspended

Deborah Wilde, 68, a retired teacher from London and Simon Milner-Edwards, 66, a retired musician from Manchester, stormed Court 18 just after 2pm on Wednesday and deposited orange confetti on the court.

Play was suspended between Grigor Dimitrov and Sho Shimabukuro and the two protesters detained by police, before grounds staff emerged with leaf blowers to clear up the court. Wilde said: “I’m just an ordinary grandmother in resistance to this Government’s policy of serving us new oil and gas licences. In normal circumstances this sort of disruption would be entirely unacceptable, but these aren’t normal circumstances.
