It is unknown what was on the banner.

At Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on July 25, Murray pleaded guilty and was sentenced for the offence.

He was given a period of conditional discharge for six months as the court heard he was ‘planning to change the way he expresses his feelings’.

Murray was also ordered to pay a £26 victim surcharge.
