Suspected Banksy artwork has emerged in central London after the closing ceremony of the Extinction Rebellion protests.
The environmental mural, which has yet to be confirmed as Banksy's, materialised overnight on a wall in Marble Arch and bears a similar stencilled style used by the unidentified artist.
It shows a child clutching a sign of the Extinction Rebellion emblem while kneeling near a plant shoot sprouting up from the earth.
"From this moment despair ends and tactics begin," the accompanying words say.
The artwork gained traction from members of the public early on Friday, with many passers by taking photographs and gathering around it.
It is thought to have been created as Extinction Rebellion organisers celebrated the end of 10 days of protesting in the capital at a nearby ceremony held at Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park.
Extinction Rebellion supporter Calvin Benson, 48, said the artwork "represents the will of the people that were here and the people of the nation".
