Security staff bundled a man out of the Labour Party conference hall after he climbed on stage with Bill Clinton.

The man mounted the rostrum as the former US president soaked up applause following a rousing conference address which was warmly received by delegates.

He spoke to Mr Clinton before apparently producing a camera and attempting to photograph himself with the former US leader, who remained calm throughout.

However, the middle-aged man was swiftly seized by security men and bundled out of the hall.
