Tuition fee protests: Charlie Gilmour, son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, apologises for climbing Cenotaph
Charlie Gilmour, the son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, has apologised for climbing the Cenotaph during the student protest against tuition fees, admitting that he was “mortified” by his actions.

Mr Gilmour was pictured swinging from the Whitehall memorial on a Union Jack, prompting widespread anger and condemnation.

In a statement, he expressed his “deepest apologies for the terrible insult to the thousands of people who died bravely for our country”.

He said: "I feel nothing but shame. My intention was not to attack or defile the Cenotaph. Running along with a crowd of people who had just been violently repelled by the police, I got caught up in the spirit of the moment.
