The peer who organised the Queen’s funeral has been banned from driving for six months.

Edward Fitzalan-Howard, the 18th Duke of Norfolk, was caught using his mobile phone while driving in Battersea, south-west London, on 7 April.

He pleaded guilty at Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

He had hoped to avoid a ban by arguing he needed his driving licence in order to organise the King’s coronation, which is among his responsibilities.
