Man detained for throwing eggs at King and Queen Consort

A man has been detained by police after throwing three eggs at the King and Queen Consort during a walkabout in York.

The projectiles narrowly missed the King as the royals greeted people on the city’s Micklegate Bar.

People in the crowd booed and shouted “God save the King” and “shame on you”.

The man was heard to shout “this country was built on the blood of slaves” as he was detained.

The King and Camilla were in York for a number of engagements that included unveiling a statue of the Queen – the first to be installed since her death.
