LONDON - The protest group Extinction Rebellion marked the end of London Fashion Week by staging a mock funeral to call for the 'death' of the event in its current form.

About 200 activists, dressed in black and wearing funeral veils, marched two black coffins - marked 'RIP LFW 1983-2019' and 'Our future' - from Trafalgar Square to fashion week venue 180 The Strand.

Extinction Rebellion wants London Fashion Week to be scrapped or changed as, it says, it celebrates an industry which is one of the worst offenders in terms of climate change.
