[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hermione Heliotrope.: [QB] All it would take would be one call from Bush to stop this and release the guy. :rolleyes: This is a much bigger breach of security, and the whole thing handled according to actual incident. No torture involved. The Michael Fagan incident Michael Fagan was an intruder (32 years old at the time) who broke into Buckingham Palace and entered Queen Elizabeth II's bedchamber in the early hours of July 9, 1982. The unemployed father of four children managed to evade electronic alarms and palace– and police guards.[1][2][3] This actually had been his second successful attempt to break into Buckingham Palace. Upon his first attempt, he scaled a drainpipe, briefly startling a housemaid. She called security, but they decided not to act. He entered through an unlocked window on the roof and spent the next half hour wandering around. He tripped several alarms, but they were faulty. He viewed the royal portraits and rested on the throne for a while. He entered the Postroom, where he drank half a bottle of Californian white wine before becoming tired and left. On the second attempt, an alarm sensor detected him. A worker in the Palace thought the alarm to be false, and silenced the alarm, Fagan having gone unnoticed. En route to see the Queen, he had broken a glass ashtray, lacerating his hand. The Queen woke when he disturbed a curtain, after which he sat on the edge of her bed talking to her for about ten minutes. The Queen phoned twice for Police but none came. She then asked for some cigarettes, which were brought by a maid. When the maid did not return to base for some time, a footman (Paul Whybrew, also called "Big Paul") appeared. The incident happened as the armed police officer outside the royal bedroom came off duty before his replacement arrived. He had been out walking the Queen's dogs. The incident caused shock to all, as an unarmed man could manage not only to enter the Palace, but see the sleeping Queen. However, the Queen's calm nature had become better noted. She was calm even upon seeing in her room a strange man with a bloodied hand, and remained calm while conversing with Fagan for about ten minutes. Since it was then a civil wrong rather than a criminal offence, Michael Fagan was not charged for trespassing in the Queen's bedroom. He was charged with theft (of the half bottle of wine), but the charges were dropped when he was committed for psychiatric evaluation. In 1994 aggravated trespass or the act of trespass with the intent to disrupt or obstruct a lawful activity became a criminal offence (Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, section 68). Fagan's mother later said, "He thinks so much of the Queen. I can imagine him just wanting to simply talk and say hello and discuss his problems."[1] Similar incidents had happened in the past, including several spectacular intrusions of "the boy Jones" in the first years of the reign of Queen Victoria.
