Cricket fan fails to stump Lord’s security with fake ID

It is one of the most sought-after and exclusive places to watch sport in the whole world -- the member's pavilion at the prestigious Lord's Cricket Ground.

But a businessman who used a dead man's prized membership card to get into the famous London sporting venue, which is more than 200 years old, was on Wednesday fined £10,000 for his deception.

James Lattimer avoided jail but judge Michael Grieve told him his actions were "despicable". Southwark Crown Court in south London was told the 51-year-old put his photograph onto a card he had bought on eBay which belonged to a member who died in 2014.
