Queen jostled
An excited, semi-hysterical crowd of 10,000 people has pushed and jostled Queen and Prince Philip during a walkabout which got out of control in Dundee, Scotland. The Royal couple, on the third day of their silver jubilee tour of Scotland, escaped unhurt after the crowds trampled down single rope barriers and surrounded them up to 15 persons deep.—Dundee.
