Fathers' group court roof protest

Fathers 4 Justice demonstrators are staging a rooftop protest at North Somerset Magistrates Court.
Members of the fathers' rights group are believed to have climbed on to the roof of the building in Weston-super-Mare at 4.20am on Wednesday.

The protestors are dressed in superhero costumes and police are on the scene.

Four members of the group were due to appear at the court on Wednesday, following a similar protest on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in February.

A spokesman for the group said: "We felt we ought to show support and sympathy for the situation they are in."
