Britain's largest fashion store was forced to close on Saturday as activists carried out a series of protests against tax avoidance by big businesses
Security staff removed a number of campaigners who chanted slogans directed at billionaire Topshop owner Sir Philip Green, whose business five years ago paid a £1.2 billion dividend to his wife, Tina, who resides in Monaco.

The protest was organised by UK Uncut, which used social networking sites Twitter and Facebook to carry out a national day of action against stores owned by Sir Philip's Arcadia Group, which also owns Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Evans and Miss Selfridge.
