DAVID GILMOUR’S SON AMONG 36 ARRESTED
Charlie Gilmour sparked national outrage when he was pictured on the war memorial in central London. Scotland Yard confirmed a 21-year-old man was arrested at an address in Sussex on suspicion of violent disorder, theft, and attempted criminal damage of the Union flag.
Last week the capital descended into a battleground between demonstrators and police when the march against rising tuition fees turned violent. As the chaos unfolded, 21-year-old Gilmour was photographed with a scarf wrapped around his face throwing a rock in the air while wearing a latex glove as police struggled to defend the Palace of Westminster.
It has emerged he was also among protesters in Regent Street when yobs attacked the Rolls-Royce carrying Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. Gilmour has denied causing any damage to the royal limousine. He was also snapped bare-chested taunting police and outside the Supreme Court on Parliament Square clutching a cigarette lighter.
Gilmour’s mother is journalist and writer Polly Samson and his natural father is the poet and playwright Heathcote Williams, her first husband. David Gilmour – worth £80million – adopted him when she remarried, and he grew up in the family’s £1.4million farmhouse in Billingshurst, West Sussex. Meanwhile, Mrs May said Prince Charles could be stopped from using his Rolls-Royce Phantom VI.
Charlie, son of Pink Floyd frontman David, was identified as one of those who climbed on the Cenot
aph in Whitehall, the nation’s monument to its war dead, as thousands of youngsters vented their fury over the decision by MPs to treble university fees to a maximum of £9,000 a year. The most shocking episodes was the attack on the Rolls-Royce carrying Charles and Camilla by a gang who smashed a window and threw paint bombs over it while shouting “Off with their heads!”
