The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals group (Peta) said it was a protest against the use of animal skins in the fashion industry in general.

The demonstrators wore T-shirts that read "Animals aren't fabric" and waved signs saying "Viva vegan leather".

Victoria appeared on crutches at the show's finale as she has a foot injury.

She was wearing a black protective boot on her left foot to match her all-black outfit. And despite her lack of mobility, she did a walk past fashion fans and critics in the front row, who included former Brazilian international footballer Ronaldo, a one-time team-mate of Victoria's husband David.
