Man on stag do 'protests' airport dressed in Just Stop Oil shirt thanks to mates

A man went on his stag do dressed as a 'Just Stop Oil' protestor, thanks to his best mates who picked all the outfits for the trip. Martin Gronow, 35, partied in Albufeira in Portugal in the orange outfit of the notorious eco group.

He started at Bristol Airport with a checklist sign of events he 'disrupted' - including The Grand National, The Ashes, World Snooker and Wimbledon. Martin says he had no choice - with his best man Michael McGuinness and usher Steven Russell having a wardrobe of outfits ready for him.

Martin, from Bristol, said: "I had no say in it really, I saw all the protests and they thought it would be a laugh and a gimmick to see if I could get through security. Security wasn't impressed, some of them were shaking their heads and giving me a dodgy look. Overall I got a lot of reaction from people.

"Everyone was interested in it and wanted to laugh at my expense or shake their head in disgust."

Martin can be seen standing in front of an oil tanker holding a sign which reads 'Susan Boyle Not Oil'. The group headed out to Portugal on July 6, and returned home on Sunday 9.

During their time in Albufeira was dressed as a sailor and a bride. Martin said: "Every day I have been dressed up, I haven't even worn my own clothes.
