Gilmour son on disorder charge

THE son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has been charged in connection with the attack on a royal convoy of cars during a student fees riot, a court heard yesterday.

Charlie Gilmour, a student at Cambridge University, is accused of violent disorder during the disturbance in Regent Street, central London, on December 9 when a car carrying the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall was attacked.

The 21-year-old, who appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court yesterday, was also originally charged with stealing a mannequin leg but that charge was withdrawn.
