He went across the room and opened curtains close to Her Majesty's bed. Her Majesty pressed the night alarm bell. In accordance with his instructions, the police sergeant who is in the corridor outside at night had gone off duty at about 6 A.M., when members of the domestic staff had come on duty.

The footman, in accordance with the normal day routine, was outside exercising the dogs, and the maid was cleaning in another room with the door closed so that the noise of her work would not disturb Her Majesty. So the night alarm bell, which is connected to the corridor outside the Queen's room and to the pantry, did not attract anyone's attention.

Her Majesty used her bedside telephone to instruct the palace telephonist to send police to her bedroom. The telephonist then telephoned the police lodge, and this call was received there at about 7:18 A.M.

Her Majesty made another telephone call about six minutes later since a police officer had still not arrived. Before police officers arrived, Her Majesty attracted the attention of the maid, and together they ushered Fagan into a nearby pantry on the pretext of supplying him with a cigarette.

They were joined there by the footman, who had returned from exercising the dogs. While Her Majesty kept the dogs away as the man was getting agitated, the footman helped to keep Fagan in the pantry by supplying him with cigarettes until first one and then another police officer arrived and removed him.

The piece of glass was subsequently found on Her Majesty's bed. There was a bloodstain on the bedclothes which came from a superficial cut on Fagan's right thumb caused by the broken glass. Previous Incidents

In the year or so before 9 July there were a number of incidents concerned with security at Buckingham Palace. Before 9 July the police had no information to connect Fagan with any of these incidents.
