Five Britons detained in Russia as part of the so-called "Arctic 30" have arrived home in the UK.
The five were arrested amid claims of hooliganism following a protest about oil drilling, and held in jail for two months.
They have since been granted amnesty under a new Russian law.
Greenpeace member Anthony Perrett, 32, of Newport, South Wales, arrived in London with fellow activists Alexandra Harris and Phil Ball, crew member Iain Rogers and freelance videographer Kieron Bryan.
They left St Petersburg earlier today and arrived in Paris this afternoon before travelling to London's St Pancras station on Eurostar to be met by their families.
A sixth Briton, activist Frank Hewetson, has also been released and is travelling to another country.
