Yellow vest campaigner James Goddard has been reunited with activists as he is released on bail after his arrest in London today on suspicion of a public order offence.
Police confirmed that a man - understood to be Goddard - was arrested outside St James Park tube station on Saturday as activists took to the streets in a 'gilet jaunes' inspired march.
But this evening Goddard was pictured being handed a cigarette and pint at the Queens Head pub in Holborn after being released on bail.
Wearing a red puffer jacket and Stone Island hat, he addressed a crowd who had gathered to celebrate his release this evening.
It is understood his earlier arrest was in connection with MP Anna Soubry being harassed outside Parliament during live television interviews in College Green on Monday.

Goddard's supporters, marching in London to demand Britain leaves the European Union, claim he was preparing to hand himself in at Holborn police station at midday.
Violence erupted as activists took to the streets of central London while police tried to contain crowds during the heated rally.
Footage captured Goddard being detained and taken into a police van as shouts of protest can be heard. Police have not confirmed what public order of offence charge the man was arrested on.
The Metroplitan Police said in a statement: 'We can confirm that a man in his 30s was arrested at 11.42hrs on Saturday, 12 January outside St James Park tube station on suspicion of a public order offence.
A spokeswoman said the arrest related to an incident which took place in Westminster on Monday January 7.
'He is currently in police custody and is being taken to a central London police station.'
The arrest happened as hundreds of people gathered ahead of a 'yellow vest' inspired anti-austerity march as they called for a national day of action today.
Protesters opposed to the government's austerity programme and demanding a general election marched through the centre of the capital before rallying in Trafalgar Square.
Hundreds of protesters joined the crowds wearing yellow vests with slogans such as 'Britain is Broken' written on the back.
Clashes broke out between protesters and police officers, with some activists being detained on the ground during the scuffles.
Organised by The People's Assembly Against Austerity, the demonstration called for for a general election.

Temporary stalls lined the road up from Oxford Circus station, where organisations such as Stand Up to Racism and the Socialist Party were handing out leaflets and placards.
People carrying drums prepared to march and political songs were being sung and large trade union banners were being held up in the crowd.
National organiser Ramona McCartney said the protest was an attempt to 'take back the political space taken up by Brexit'.
Ms McCartney said protesters also wanted to show 'solidarity with the left and working class in France by wearing the yellow vests today'.
France has seen weeks of nationwide anti-austerity demonstrations by the 'gilets jaune' movement.
Addressing the crowd in Trafalgar Square, Labour's shadow finance minister John McDonnell said eight years of austerity under the ruling Conservatives was 'tearing apart the very social fabric' of Britain.
He said: 'We need a general election now to bring about the fairer, more equal society we all want to live in'.

The French protests began in mid-November over a proposed increase in fuel duties, and soon turned violent.
The leaderless movement appeared to be petering out at the end of 2018 but has since regained momentum, with weekly clashes seen in Paris and other French cities.
Britain has seen several small protests by Brexit supporters wearing yellow vests since November, but other activists have been slow to adopt the symbolic attire and movement.
Goddard, originally from Leicester, was in a gang of agitators that surrounded Tory MP Anna Soubry on Monday, allegedly calling her a 'Nazi' and a 'traitor'.
He is a vocal supporter of Tommy Robinson and asks for online donations to support his 'yellow vest' campaign.
Goddard also allegedly abused Owen Jones, branding him a 'communist bully' and a 'lying little toad' whose 'parents must be ashamed'.

As people called for him and his supporters to be arrested he said he 'has nothing to apologise for' and said he has a right to abuse MPs.
He said that Ms Soubry had treated him and others 'with contempt' and 'deserves' the barracking she receives and said she 'wasn't verbally assaulted'.
He added: 'Why is it ok for [the left] to say it yet the moment we say it we're the ones who are branded things and they're going to investigate us ?'
Since December the professional protester has been outside parliament where he has barracked MPs and journalists and also visited the 'treacherous' Labour Party's offices in central London.
On his Twitter and Facebook accounts he encourages supporters to donate to him and 'support my work' via a PayPal account.
The 29-year-old from Leicester says that Halal meat should be banned and that no new mosques should be built in the UK to avoid Britain becoming a Muslim country in 50 years.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
