This freaky picture shows how a protester, self-proclaimed the grumpiest old woman in the world, glued herself to a department store in front of stunned shoppers in south London earlier today.

Many have posted images online of the incident.
Police were called to the scene whereupon the woman reportedly started ranting that police officers did not get enough respect.
Police attended while the woman had glued her bottom to the Debenham’s window but she has since removed herself from the area.
In the image, a woman with grey hair is wearing a sash proclaiming her the “world’s grumpiest woman”.
Tom Mosley, who was in the crowd, added to the Croydon Guardian: “There was already quite a crowd when I turned up”. I think the police were a bit confused. “Amusing episode”.
She was not protesting against Debenhams itself – just the fact there was “nothing on the telly”, according to eyewitnesses.
After police arrived and spoke to the woman, she sat on a bench near Mr Walkden’s stall for about 15 minutes.
The Metro quotes Kay Hopkins as saying: “We are one planet and we should let everyone go wherever there is land”.

She then stood up, made another speech using her megaphone and amplifier, before walking away up North End.
