ITV were today accused of allowing Tom Cruise to hijack and 'cheapen' the opening event of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee so he could promote Top Gun 2 in return for reading for less than a minute from an Autocue. The 59-year-old American star was mobbed by fans as he arrived at the Royal Windsor Horse Show before a 55-second appearance where he introduced the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery as 'one of the most enthralling, thrilling, heart-in-mouth displays' he'd ever seen.
