No word yet on whether there were any arrests:

BNP leader Nick Griffin has been pelted with eggs and forced to abandon a press conference outside Parliament.

About 200 protesters disrupted the event, which follows the British National Party winning its first two seats in the European Parliament.

Mr Griffin was elected for the North West region - a result condemned by parties across the political spectrum.

The BBC's political correspondent Carole Walker said Mr Griffin and his fellow BNP MEP Andrew Brons were led to a car and had to abandon the press conference.
