North Tyneside

Sting was on his way to receive Freedom of the Borough of North Tyneside when he took a wrong turn and boarded a train in the opposite direction.

Robert Ellis, of Longbenton, was told by a judge it was "astonishing" he had no criminal convictions on his record and was scolded for his "extraordinary ego".
