Pop star's ex-wife in court rant

The ex-wife of rock star Bryan Ferry today vowed to "bring down the Government" as she appeared in court over her role in the pro-hunting demonstration in Parliament Square last week.

Lucy Ferry, 45, pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawfully obstructing the highway during a 10-minute hearing at Bow Street Magistrates Court in Central London.

Jackie Coward, 18, girlfriend of Mrs Ferry's son Otis, pleaded guilty to the same charge.

Both were given 12-month conditional discharges and ordered to pay £40 costs.
