The crown-wearing “idiots” leapt over the barriers and plonked themselves on the ground as the musicians walked towards Buckingham Palace shortly after 10am.
Cops quickly swooped on the men, tackling them to the floor and hauling them off to the side and back over the fences.
The demonstrators are understood to be from Animal Rebellion and accusing the Royal family of “disregarding” wildlife.
Those at the scene said the public booed as the activists were carried away and arrested.
The Met Police confirmed “a number of arrests” were made after the group “attempted to enter the ceremonial route” at 10.10am.
Before the drama, the force advised people to avoid viewing areas in central London as most are now at capacity.
A spokesperson said: “The viewing areas in central London for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations are now full.
“To avoid the disappointment of not being able to enter the viewing areas please avoid the area.”
