Louis McKechnie has been jailed before for aggravated trespass and breaching an injunction
Defending the pair, solicitor Francesca Cociani asked one of the gallery's curators, Karen Serres, whether the artwork had increased in value "because of the protest it was subject to by the defendants".

Defending her actions, Brocklebank told the court: "Any good human would agree with trying to sustain life on Earth."
