Several people have been arrested following protest activity during the Kings visit to Canberra.

A police spokesperson has told OnScene ACT that at about 11am this morning, police arrested a 62-year-old man at the Australian War Memorial for breach of the peace.

He was conveyed to the ACT Watch House where he signed an undertaking to keep the peace, and he was released without charge.

Shortly after, police arrested a 21-year-old woman for failing to comply with a police direction.

She was conveyed to the ACT Watch House where she was charged and she faced the ACT Magistrates Court this afternoon.

Several other arrests were made at the Australian War Memorial, however those people were later released without charge.

The King is expected to fly out this evening, following a short day visit here in Canberra.
