I just remembered we queued for breakfast behind a huge bunch of strong men in a hotel in Aberdeen once. They were the loveliest guys but the hotel was having to repeatedly restock the bacon and sausages as they were eating mountains of them.

Barry Sheene and Steph in Waitrose, ditto Judy Dench then unfortunate
To be behind Katie Price at the garden centre. Celia Imrie at another garden centre.

Waiting to board a train behind Scarlett Moffatt. I helped her on with her suitcases.

Michael Eavis in the ticket office at Bristol Temple Meads Station.

I once queued in the post office behind Grotbags. She was in her day to day clothing 🤪

Jack O Connell in a chippy in Derby

Judy Murray, heading to security in Glasgow airport years ago.

One memorable occasion in the food department of M&S in Kensington. Princess Diana at the till on one side of me and Diana Rigg on the other side of me. Not all at the same till. I was at the middle one so doesn't fully meet the OP's brief!

Also saw Julian Cope at a motorway services once. He had remarkably skinny legs.

DrMarciaFieldstone · 23/03/2023 19:56

Bradley Walsh in M&S

Strictly dancer Brendan something at Bagel Nash 🤣

Not queued but I bumped into Cliff Richard in the freezer section of a supermarket in Portugal when I was on holiday about 30 years ago 😁

Apparently he had a house there at the time!

Gazza in the co op

Fern Britton at a cash machine in High Wycombe. She was ages with her kids and then apologised to me after and said she was trying to teach them money management!

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 23/03/2023 20:24

Alan Bennet in the newsagents near his home. He bought 2 copies of the Guardian. I reckon both him and his partner want to do the crossword.

I was cool on the outside and GIDDY on the inside.

Jamelia in a Birmingham Lloyd's bank. Strangely the second time I'd come across her, I'd also been at a funeral she was also at a few years earlier.

BiliousOhGod · 23/03/2023 21:15

Alistair McGowan at airport arrivals. I lost the "lookie-likey" game; they weren't allowed to be the real people...

timetorefresh · 23/03/2023 22:06

At an airport Peter Andre and Katie Price. They were making a hell of a racket.

SwedishEdith · 23/03/2023 23:29

I queued behind Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire) in John Lewis and Mike Joyce in Ikea.

watcherintherye · 24/03/2023 00:01

Not exactly, but we sat at a table in front of Marcus Brigstocke and companion at a Wahaca in London. I was about to start eating the food the waitress had put in front of me when I realised it wasn’t actually what I’d ordered. She apologised, whipped it away, and gave it to him. He didn’t notice!

Oh and Debbie McGee in a garage in Henley. She flashed me a beautiful smile.

She's lovely. Often see her in Waitrose.

Henley is a good place to spot the famous.

Didn't queue but sat beside Judy Murray once on a flight from London to Edinburgh. She was very quiet and unassuming, no airs and graces, had a book with her. I'd love to have complimented her on raising such good sons but my courage failed me and i didn't want to bother her so we both quietly read for the whole flight!

Queued behind Rosemary Conley in M&S food Hall. She was definitely not going to be sticking to the Hip and Thigh diet that weekend going by the contents of her trolley. She drove an enormous burgundy Rolls Royce.

Served Eileen from corrie loads of times at House of Fraser - very lovely lady.
