The protester came down just after midnight, after telling negotiators he would stop "on his own terms".

A man who climbed up Big Ben’s Elizabeth Tower carrying a Palestinian flag has now come down, after more than 16 hours.

The barefoot man made his way on to a ledge several metres up the tower at the Palace of Westminster on Saturday morning.

He had filmed his climb and said that he was protesting against “police repression and state violence”.

    That’s why you should bring a bag lunch and water when you climb Big Ben. It’s like hiking a long trail. Well, you can probably skip carrying a paper map but you should always bring snacks and water when you climb up a mountain and/or the world’s most famous clock.
