A man has been arrested after an egg was allegedly thrown in the direction of the King during a walkabout in Luton.
Bedfordshire Police said the suspect, in his 20s, was in custody on suspicion of common assault after he was arrested in St George’s Square this morning.
The King was temporarily steered away from crowds outside the town hall by security staff but continued to shake hands with the public after being moved to a different area.
A protester also was also arrested last month after throwing eggs at the King in York.
The King earlier visited the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in the Bedfordshire town and rode the new cable-drawn Dart mass passenger transit system linking the train station to the airport.
