Police say the man who broke into the grounds of Windsor Castle on Christmas Day has been detained under the Mental Health Act and had a crossbow when challenged by police.

The royal family were told of the break-in, with officials saying there was no danger to the royals and that security protections had worked as the suspect was spotted and quickly detained. The man was later assessed as being severely mentally ill. The Met said: “The man was taken into custody and has undergone a mental health assessment – he has since been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and remains in the care of medical professionals.

As well as armed police patrols, the perimeter is covered by CCTV and other security measures. Police say the suspect did not enter any buildings in the castle grounds.

With omicron, it may be harder to tell if you have COVID-19 or a coldWith omicron, health experts warn the symptoms that previously helped people to gauge whether they had a cold, flu or COVID-19 are no longer as reliable. 😂 Can confirm, 1 double vaxxed 3 triple vaxxed and we all tested positive. We all have a little to mild cold. Funny part is the double vaxxed is doing much better than triple vaxxed. If it’s just like the cold, why the need for mandates and restrictions?
