It’s intended the polar bear titan will remain fixed there until Shell’s Arctic drilling window ends later this month. Six protesters are inside the bear, locked to her so she can't be removed.

The event was part of Greenpeace’s month-long run of Titanic-themed orchestral protests against Arctic drilling outside Shell’s offices on the South Bank.

As an addition to the Requiem, Charlotte sang a version of ‘This Bitter Earth’ accompanied by a string ensemble – a poignant combination of works originally by Max Richter and Dinah Washington.

The live recording of Charlotte’s one-off performance will be made available as a free download shortly afterwards to help reach more people to let them know about the threat Shell’s drilling poses to the Arctic.

Greenpeace volunteers arrived early this morning to close and secure the road, ready for more than 50 kids, and their parents or guardians, to safely enter the play street for their vibrant protest.

The children constructed a polar bear, walrus and snowy owl reaching up to seven feet high. The giant bricks are made from reinforced cardboard and will be donated to a local school after LEGO ends its deal with Shell.

Nearly 700,000 people have already signed a petition calling on LEGO to end its deal with Shell.

Greenpeace’s viral video ‘LEGO: everything is NOT awesome’ has been suspended by YouTube, following a copyright claim from Warner Brothers. The environmental organisation quickly transferred the film to Vimeo and strongly defended the work as a piece of satire that highlights a subject of significant public interest.
