London - A man who hid behind a cathedral organ so he could secretly film the star-studded christening of Madonna's baby son Rocco was yesterday fined £1,000.

A security adviser, Mr Robert Podesta (51), took up a secret place behind the organ 24 hours before the singer and her then fiance, Guy Ritchie, gathered with guests for the baptism at Dornoch Cathedral, Sutherland. He managed to film the service for 24 minutes but was caught as he left the building. Today Sheriff Ian Cameron fined Mr Podesta at Dornoch Sheriff Court.
