Mr Eubank (40) was arrested after driving the huge truck, with a message about Britain's Prince Harry's deployment to Iraq emblazoned on the side.

It read: "BLAIR: Don't send our young prince to your catastrophic illegal war to make it look plausible."

The prince is to serve in Iraq and will be deployed there with his regiment sometime in April.

Eubank left the police station at around 11pm but made no comment on his arrest. He was bailed to return to a London police station on March 29th.
