Couple Arrested For Sex On Queen's Lawn In England

A couple were arrested after being caught having sex on the Queen's lawn outside Windsor Castle in England.

The pair, in their early thirties, stripped on a private grass bank at the castle, where the Queen was in residence and got down to business.

They were watched by crowds of tourists beneath the castle's Garter Tower -- in full view of hotels, pubs and shops over the road.

Several Japanese tourists filmed the couple for up to twenty minutes before they were arrested by armed Royal Protection Squad officers.

The couple, who were described by police as "respectable people with respectable jobs", were said to be 'mortified' by their arrest.

A police source said they were put in cells overnight to sober up before being cautioned for "outraging public decency."

"One window from the guardroom opened up and when a soldier saw what was going on he told his mates � and lots of windows opened," 44-year-old Mark Robinson, who saw the incident, tells 'The Sun'.

"The couple did not care who was looking and just kept going as if they were in their own bedroom. They even ignored the 'Please keep off the grass' signs."

"A few soldiers were geeing them on from above and plenty of young people did the same from the roadside. There were camera flashes going off and people videoing."

The couple reportedly stopped after being confronted by two protection squad officers in an unmarked Range Rover, accompanied by a police car.

"The Queen was in residence at the time, but her private apartments are at the other end so she would have been blissfully unaware of it," says the paper.
