Climate change campaigners who have been camped at Heathrow Airport for the past week say their protest is to climax with 24 hours of direct action.

Organisers say up to 2,000 people will take part in the day of protests, which will include laying siege to airport operator BAA's nearby headquarters.

They will also mark out the route of the airport's proposed third runway.

Police have said they are confident they will be able to contain the action, which will start at midday.

Between 1,000 and 2,000 people are expected to join the action on Sunday.
