Furious diners had their meals disrupted after dozens of anti-greyhound racing protesters stormed a Hard Rock Cafe in central London.
The activists burst into the iconic restaurant as stunned customers looked on while staff attempted to deal with the disruption.
The protesters are believed to be linked to an anti-fur campaign group opposed to the brand’s alleged partnership with SIS, a sports broadcaster that shows horse racing, greyhound racing and virtual sports.

The demonstration took place at the Hard Rock Cafe on Park Lane in Westminster over the weekend, as reported by Need To Know.
Armed with placards and loudhailers, the group marched into the restaurant and gathered near the entrance.
Some of the signs read: “Greyhound racing kills” and “You bet they die”.
The latter slogan was repeatedly chanted by protesters as they occupied part of the venue.
Footage showed staff attempting to usher demonstrators back towards the exit while one protester moved around the restaurant floor.
One worker appeared visibly frustrated as he tried to manage the situation.
A number of diners looked unimpressed as their meals were interrupted by the protest.
The footage later sparked a wave of reactions online.
One person said: “The sun is out, so protest season has begun.”
Another person added: “How and why are they inside though?”
One other person said: “Why are they like this?”
One person added: “Get a real job.”
Another person said: “Why are these lunatics not arrested?”
Hard Rock Cafe has been approached for comment.
