"Page Boy Farts During Queen's Speech"

Posted on the 04 June 2014 by Markwadsworth @Mark_Wadsworth

From The Evening Standard:
A page boy appeared to fart as he stood next to the Queen while she neared the end of her speech outlining the Government’s proposed laws.
The boy stepped on a duck around eight minutes and 53 seconds into the Queen’s Speech. A loud trumpeting could be heard in the House of Lords as the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, sat nearest to the boy, showed concern as they called for help to discreetly ventilate the area.
A door was opened to allow the odour to be carried out of the chamber while the three remaining page boys assisted the Queen as she left the building after her speech.
It took place as the Queen said the Government will work towards a "comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran". She continued reading the speech throughout the incident, adding: "A bit more choke and that would have started."
