LONDON — The son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour was charged Thursday with violent disorder and theft of a mannequin leg after he was pictured swinging off Britain's national war memorial during a student riot.

Charlie Gilmour, 21, was one of seven people charged by London's Metropolitan Police force and will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on February 10.

A further five people were cautioned as part of Operation Malone, which was launched by the force to investigate large scale protests which were staged in London during November and December.

The son of journalist Polly Samson, Gilmour was adopted by the Pink Floyd star after the couple married in 1994.
