He is my dad's doppelganger! Have no idea who he is please help 😊

I have a video clip of him walking in and he showed up at 12.09pm I'd love to know who he is.

My dad looks like Wilfred Mott from Dr Who.

Gilead · 19/09/2022 17:19

He’s the husband of the leader of the EU, I think.

Monkeybutt1 · 19/09/2022 17:20

My dad used to get mistaken, a lot, for Jack Nicholson

I had to google Wilfrid Mott haha I never know who anyone is.
Jack Nicholson I do though, he must have scared off boyfriends!

Ooh I'll Google the husband of the EU leader thanks!

I can't upload the video clip unfortunately.

Judging by his cuffs, that's a naval uniform? Possibly a Commodore, if this image is correct:

Have you checked your dad is actually at home today? 😁

Thanks for the link. He's wearing a row of medals and carrying some sort of gold ?sword in his left hand. He also walked in alone so must be someone in his own right.

Wikipedia has a page listing serving Commodores in the Royal Navy (who knew?!). Do any of these look like your dad?

Yes haha although I did at first think my brother had superimposed my dad's head when I initially saw it.

No idea but does anyone know who the first pallbearer is?

I recognise him (beyond seeing him pallbear this week) but I can't find him when I Google

The blonde one? He looked really familiar to me as well. Can't place him, though.

He looked like Rob Beckett to me 😃

I opened this thread wondering if it would be about The Very Tall Man I saw walking a couple of times, both in the London procession and in Windsor.

Sorry, not helpful OP, I'm not sure who either man is.

No but thanks. I've sent it to my family to look through too though. DB is ex navy so I've asked him to look at the uniform.

I thought he looked like George Ezra

coldfeetmama · 19/09/2022 19:04

They mentioned the very tall one on ITV
Think he might have been the Queens secretary or something like that ? Or it might have been another on that row ..

pastaparadise · 19/09/2022 19:05

I was wondering who the Very Tall Man was too! He must be about 7 foot!

coldfeetmama · 19/09/2022 19:06

Mathew Magee 7 ft 2 according to Google

Newpuppymummy · 19/09/2022 19:06

I thought this might be about the tall man. He was literally head and shoulders above everyone

If its the same one as was in the Queen/Bond Olympics opening sketch that is "Tall Paul" who has been with the queen years

Show quote history

Yes, another vote for Tall Paul who has been a member of the Queen's household for years. His official title is Page of the Backstairs.

AgnestaVipers · 19/09/2022 19:13

He's for the royal top shelf needs.

coldfeetmama · 19/09/2022 19:16

According to the newsfeed .. Tall Paul is on the right at 6 ft odd , Mathew on left at over 7ft
