Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

While pilgrims were traveling to perform the Stoning of the Devil ritual at 10am that morning, the disaster started when a pedestrian bridge railing was bent, causing seven people to fall off a bridge and onto people exiting the tunnel. The tunnel's capacity of 1000 soon filled with up to 5000 people.

Fagan wandered the palace corridors for several minutes before reaching the section where the royal apartments were located. In an anteroom Fagan broke a glass ashtray, cutting his hand. He was still carrying a fragment of the glass when he entered the Queen's bedroom. The Queen woke when he disturbed a curtain and initial reports said Fagan sat on the edge of her bed. Fagan then asked for some cigarettes which were brought by a maid who had been cleaning a neighbouring room. Duty footman Paul Whybrew, who had been walking the Queen's dogs then appeared followed by two policemen on palace duty who removed Fagan.
