TWO people have been charged after porridge and jam was poured on a bust of Queen Victoria.
The incident happened shortly before midday at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum on Sunday, March 4.
The word c*** was also allegedly spray-painted onto the plinth and two women reportedly glued themselves to the plinth.
