These are the same people who probably see nothing wrong with dropping litter or doing a bit of gaffiti etc etc.

Nothing wrong with bursting balloons, but if they are provided for public "enjoyment" and decoration, if I was a copper, I would tell kids, especially teenagers, say 14+ to clear off and stop making a nuisance of themselves.

Sounds like a bit of harmless fun to me, kids will be kids and you'd worry if they didn't ever do silly things.Just wanted to add this...
A West Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: "This disturbance was created as the Royal party arrived...the origin of the loud bangs was unclear.
"This could have been a firearm" the spokeswoman added.

ossible firearm BUT REALLY!!! Sounds like the local shire/govt/council whatever thought it somehow brought them into disrepute. Wonder if it had of been any other occaision/event other than the royals if this would have gone so far? Probably not would be my thoughts.

I think it's a bit extreme to arrest the kids. But then the police probably let them go after a few questions anyway.
If these were my kids, I wouldn't care if they had already been punished by the police or even the Queen. When they got home, they would still be getting some lecture from the mum and dad for misbehaviour in public. I would tell them bursting balloons which weren't theirs was an unacceptable act. If you don't reprimand them over minor misdemeanours, the next time it could be major.
