I have a few more
David Attenborough visited my husbands school when he was a pupil. He didn’t meet him, but my BIL did - there is photographic evidence!
Noel Edmond’s was a neighbour long before he was famous and a mere DJ on Radio Kent.
The Sissons ( Peter was the newsreader) were friends with my parents and they regularly swapped babysitting favours.
Roald Dahl turned up to a book signing or meet the author type of event in our village. ( this was about 1973 I think , so he was fairly well known by then ) .Only nobody else turned up , albeit a few ( 5 I think) children and a couple of organisers! So he spent the morning teaching me how to make paper dolls . I had no idea who he was either , but I do remember him being very tall.
My parents own a chair that was once on TV ,
My parents attended a relatively small dance in their village. The lead act was none other than Elton John! This was just a few months after he had released his first album but a couple of months before he had his famous US trip which threw him into the limelight and made him the rockstar he is today.
I once spoke to Rik Mayall looking into an Estate Agents window he didn’t say much back I recall, sadly this was shortly before he died in 2014 (he was very young)
An acquaintance of my husbands at a student party attended by Prince William at St Andrews, inadvertently nearly knocked him out when he exited the bathroom and bashed the door on his head! His security personnel were not amused!
I also was on national TV for about 3 minutes ( though the whole thing took about 3 hrs to shoot) because I led a national campaign Because of that campaign, I have an address book full interesting personal contact details of various well known figures somewhere about the house.
I realise some of these are less tenuous than others .
