A man who rushed up to Britain's Queen Elizabeth's car and started swearing as she left Oxfordshire has been arrested.
The monarch was leaving Banbury's Leonard Cheshire Care Home, where she had completed a royal visit, when the man in his 30s ran up to her vehicle and started gesturing and cursing.
An onlooker said: "All of a sudden this man came running by and went charging for the car and three officers went after him."
The man was arrested on a public order offence. He was later released with a caution.
The queen was accompanied by her husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, as she toured the Oxfordshire city.
While she went to see the care home, Philip toured car company Prodrive's factory, where he was shown the latest vehicles.
The couple later visited the Magdalen College in Oxford, part of the city's prestigious university, to mark the 550th anniversary of the college.
Mark Blandford-Baker, the home bursar of the college, said: "It's a great honour for the queen to visit to mark the 550th anniversary. She last visited here in 1948, when she was Princess Elizabeth, and on that day she visited lots of colleges and was awarded an honorary degree by the university."
Chief Superintendent Jim Trotman, of Thames Valley Police, insisted the royal visit had been immensely successful, despite the arrest.
He said: "From a policing perspective the operation went very successfully and officers were pleased to have been able to help the royal visit go so smoothly.
"We estimate there were 4,000 to 5,000 people in Banbury town centre this morning and I would like to thank the public for coming out in large numbers and giving the queen and the duke a good reception in such an orderly and good spirited way."
