The son of Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and Dame Vivienne Westwood has set fire to millions of pounds of punk memorabilia on a boat on the River Thames.

Joe Corre torched the items - said to be worth around £5 million alongside effigies of politicians loaded with fireworks, as part of a protest near the Albert Bridge in Chelsea. 

Dummies of David Cameron, Theresa May and George Osborne were among those engulfed in flames, as well as a chest containing clothes, posters and other memorabilia belonging to Corre.
