Drama as eggs thrown at the King
Drama as eggs thrown at the King
There was drama today as eggs were thrown at the King.
It happened moments after King Charles and Camilla had stepped out of the limousine at Micklegate Bar.
As he greeted the Lord Mayor at least three eggs were thrown by people in the crowd. None hit the King or Queen Consort.
The police then waded into the crowd as the Royal party made their way through the bar.
