Cornelius "Neil" Horan, sometimes referred to as The Grand Prix Priest, The Dancing Priest or The Armageddon Priest (born 22 April 1947), is a laicised Irish Roman Catholic priest who is noted for his interference with the running of the 2003 British Grand Prix and the 2004 Summer Olympics men's marathon in order to promote his religious belief that the end times are near. In 2004 he was found not guilty of indecent assault against a seven-year-old girl. Though he did admit that he was naked while the girl tickled him and while they played hide-and-seek, during the court case he also claimed to own only one pair of tight-fitting green satin underpants that have never been washed as he needs them to 'always be ready for use', at one point Horan produced the pants from his pocket to show the jury. He was arrested and spent some time in jail in Germany in 2006 when police found out about his plans to stage a Pro-Nazi demonstration (which included a poster he made praising Adolf Hitler). He went on to appear on Britain's Got Talent in May 2009. He danced a soft jig on the show, received a standing ovation by the audience and was put through to the second round. He did not make the live semi-finals. In 2017 he showed his support outside court for disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris. Early life and the priesthood The second of 13 children born to Catherine (née Kelly) and John Horan. Horan is a native of Knockeenahone, Scartaglen in County Kerry. He currently lives in London.

Incidents 2003 British Grand Prix On 20 July 2003, Horan ran across the track at the Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit, wearing an orange skirt and waving a religious banner, which stated "Read the Bible. The Bible is always right". His protest took place on the 200 mph (320 km/h) Hangar Straight. Several drivers had to swerve to avoid him and the safety car had to be deployed to protect him and the competitors. Horan was tackled by track marshal Stephen Green, who removed Horan from the track before he was arrested.
