Three stars from the worlds of TV and film have teamed up to recreate an iconic 102-year-old photograph and highlight Britain's lack of progress towards ending experiments on animals.
Back in 1919, three women from the feminist-led British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection protested in Parliament Square as the Dogs (Protection) Bill was being debated in Parliament.
Now their places are taken by Harry Potter star Evanna Lynch, Downton Abbey's Lesley Nicol and Lucy Watson from Made In Chelsea, but the message remains exactly the same.
This week, Home Office statistics revealed that almost 2.9 million procedures were carried out on animals last year with 86,395 classified as 'severe,' meaning the animals endured intense and protracted pain, suffering, or distress.

Campaign groups say the number of experiments has fallen by just one per cent a year in the past decade, meaning it would take yet another century for it to be phased out.
While mice topped the list of animals experimented on, the Home Office list included 4,340 procedures on dogs, 10,790 on horses, 11,336 on rabbits and 146 on cats.
All these represented an increase on the previous year and the figures also showed a 77 per cent increase in experiments on monkeys to 2,393.
Lesley Nicol, who played Mrs Patmore in Downton Abbey, said: 'It's horrifying to know how many animal experiments take place each year in the UK. To know that so many are unnecessary breaks my heart.
'In the 1900s people were fighting for animal experiments to stop and fast forward 118 years, here we are again… So why hasn't a change been made? With modern science evolving, it's beyond my comprehension that scientists, universities and brands haven't made more of an effort to replace animal experiments.'
