Bush appeared in some sort of nightgarment in Ireland at a castle window. According to this:
A hastily written memo was delivered to all broadcasters, including the BBC.
“These pictures are the property of the Irish presidency and must not be used for transmission by any service,” it said.
Just in case anyone was thinking of ignoring the instruction, it was written in bold, with capital letters and underlined.
It was too late for some broadcasters, who had excitedly rushed to air with the pictures of the blushing Mr Bush.
The authorities were not amused, and apparently made their feelings known to the cameraman involved.
“He’ll probably be sent to Guantanamo Bay now,” joked a fellow cameraman.
