Justin Welby (had brief organisational conversation with and sang solo in front of)
James Callis (appeared on stage with)
Stephen Cleobury (had Proud Parent conversation and attended formal dinner with)
Richard Hickox (was conducted by; possibly exchanged words but it was a long time ago and I don't remember)
Nicholas Cleobury (was conducted by; even longer ago but I remember because he was a bit miffed I hadn't learnt the fourth viola part when I was eighth viola (lots of people were ill))
Michael Tippett (was conducted by; definitely didn't speak to him. He was very old at the time)

@BikeRunSki @DianasLasso - come on, that would be impressive enough to be sure! Drinking tea at his own funeral?

@merryhouse - I missed out the word “Granny”. It was Jude Law’s granny’s funeral!!

George Michael

I've met Jimmy White too, seemed like a bit of a ladies man. Ronnie O'Sullivan and Ken Doherty, very pleasant. Simon Reeve the presenter, lovely, seemed a little shy. Saw Liv Tyler in the British museum. Saw some of Westlife at an airport, happy to have photos taken though they looked in a bit of a hurry.

I have been pecked by Emu, of Rod Hull and Emu

I met bill Nighy at the bottle bank. I was wearing pyjama bottoms and a sweatshirt with holes in. I think he liked me.

Blackberry Smoke
Roy Wood
I drove Chas Hodges to a gig in my car and scraped a wall whilst trying to park

Obviously the gig was not in my car. Don't know why I wrote it like that

I also met Bill Nighy! At my sister's wedding . He was staying in the same hotel. He was very gracious about being stopped and asked for photos.
Also Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, Anne Widdecombe, Paddy Ashdown and a slew of other major and minor political figures from the nineties

I would love to have met Alan Rickman

The Prodigy.

The parties were 😱😱

Once met Sue Pollard in a bar. Was a right misery guts!! Def no hi de flipping hi!!

Not the Sue I met and I’ve met her a few times. If she is talking to someone she is really interested in what they are saying. There was a few years between meeting once and she remembered me and asked me about my daughter who was deciding where to train. Never mentioned herself once.

Camilla Parker Bowles and Margaret Thatcher. Both charming to talk to.

@Rachie1973

Craig David, he’s an arse.

Eleanor Tomlinson from Poldark. Back story to that one.

What was Eleanor like? I love her!

@CostaCosta

Tom Cruise.

What was he like? Very intriguing.

I once sort of met Meghan Markle. Funny story actually. I had a feeling she looked familiar (embarrassingly I thought she was my old neighbour) so decided to move a little closer to have a gander as I’d lent my old neighbour a book and wanted it back. Anyway, just as I was about to go and ask for it, I was simultaneously pulled back (I assume by security) as well as realising that it was Meghan. This was before she was with Harry and when she was in Suits. I still cringe at that memory.

Bill Clinton

Absolutely no one.

The Queen.

Commonwealth Games village walkabout, Edinburgh 1986.

HM stopped and asked me what I did (minibus driver for the Scotland team). I thought nothing of it until my face was plastered over the Scotsman and Evening News the next day. I did go into the Scotsman offices to order a copy.

Stevie Nicks
Mick Fleetwood
Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi)
