Blair feared acrobat would kill the Queen

Jitters over Millennium trapeze act

- MARK JEFFERIES

TONY Blair was worried the Queen would be killed by an acrobat after he invited her to a Millennium party.

A documentary tells how trapeze artists were flying above the then Labour PM, the late monarch and husband Prince Philip on New Year's Eve 1999.

Anji Hunter, Director of Government Relations from 1997 to 2001, says Mr Blair had already had a "horrible feeling" about the chaotic celebrations at the Millennium Dome in East London.
