Man who climbed into Queen's bedroom in 1982 says he has 'lit a candle' for the late monarch and is saddened by her death

The man who broke into the Queen's bedroom 40 years ago has said he is 'sad that she has gone'.

Michael Fagan broke into Buckingham Palace twice in 1982, managing to enter the Queen's bedroom and waking her up when he opened the curtains.

Fagan, who is schizophrenic, spoke to the Queen about his family for around 10 minutes.

The monarch apparently thought the intruder was just a drunk member of the palace staff. 

Queen Elizabeth got out of bed and said she would leave the room to get someone, sending for a footman who gave Fagan whiskey until the police arrived.
