Right royal bust-up

THE Queen is uppermost in the minds of many folk just now.

Reader Nigel Robson recalls: "In London, where I worked briefly in the early 1970s, a newspaper seller's placard boldly declared one afternoon, 'Queen in rumpus at Palace'.

"Only after parting with their pennies did readers discover it related to former St Mirren and Kilmarnock striker Gerry Queen getting into trouble at his then club Crystal Palace."
