A suspected terrorist accused of attacking police with a sword outside Buckingham Palace had originally intended to go to Windsor Castle - but his satnav led him to a pub of the same name instead. Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 26, sparked a major terror alert when he was arrested outside the royal residence last Friday.

He arrived in Windsor at about 7.30pm - having left an hour earlier - but his satnav had taken him to The Windsor Castle pub rather than the royal residence.  It is also reported that Chowdhury drove past the Victoria barracks in the town two minutes later, before ultimately setting off for London.
