i saw donny in 1973 lol.................

Actually I'd completely forgotten that I've seen Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, and Timothy Spall close up in Leicester Square for the premiere of Vanilla Sky, 3yrs ago. My brother and I had spent the day in London and stumbled across the event and whilst I wasn't particularly bothered about whether I saw Tom Cruise or not, it was hard not to get swept along by the whole event. He was doing his usual thing of working the crowd of screaming female fans, stopping to chat on fan's mobiles etc...

As the Police officer in charge,I accompanied the much maligned Prince Charles to a small work-place. The weather was diabolical and snowing heavily. His driver was in a mad rush to get back to London and there was barely time to do it even in the best of conditions. Because of the weather, only a crowd of thirty turned up outside. The prince came out , shook the hands of some and showed an interest in each one, in what I took as a gesture of thanks for them turning out in such weather. He was hatless and looked like a snowman as he got back into his car with one very unhappy driver. Happy days

Joe Pasqualie comes into the supermarket I work in to pick his wife up. He is taller than you think and yes he has got a squeaky voice. Also Micky from the Bill and Jools Holland pop in. In the sixties I met most of the pop stars as I was an autograph hunter being lucky enough to frequent Carnaby and Denmark Street and the Ram Jam club in Brixton. Shirley

When i worked in my local shop, i served Frank Bruno and Steve Davis, Frank often came in and chatted to everyone really nice man, Frank and Steve were neighbours and they lived quite close to where i live, Frank has moved now but Steve still lives there. Love Helenxx

I think Strump may have met a rugger player.................... I've met the Beatles (just quick autographs). I sat next to Norman Vaughan when I went to a panto. When Michael Barrymore was in panto here I saw him in the street. I did a sort of double-take because I wasn't sure who it was and he said "Awright?" and I laughed. Next thing he was dancing me up and down the pavement persuading me to go to the panto. I met Phil off Time Team a few years ago and I was like a silly schoolgirl. I just love that programme. Gwynne

I met Dez from Coronation Street when he was here in Vancouver. My best friend is a first cousin to a famous Canadian Actor. I'm not going to say his name, but we knew him before he became famous. I was also on the plane between Heathrow and Manchester with a group of young lads. I was informed by my younger cousin that they were BoyZone - I didn't have a clue who she was talking about.

My ex hubby has Michael Cain in his family tree......how comes I got the whimp!!!! lol

I was in Edinburgh shopping on the Royal mile and I saw the Queen go into church to attend a service and then walk out again, but I couldn't see very well through the crowd. When I was at Glamis Castle I took part in a youth march to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee. There were some Royals there, but fairly obscure ones and I had a chat with them. I have also seen Philip Reeve (he illustrates Terry Deary's books) at a book award's ceremony. BUT, I've never actually met anyone famous, I wish I had!! Lucia :-)

John McCririck, at York races, about 15 years ago. Griff Rhys Jones at a book signing at Kings Cross. Leslie Crowther at the Saltburn Victorian festival, again about 15 years ago.

I have met the late Roy Kinnear when I nursed his daughter, Michael Aspel when I nursed his son, Sheila Grant who was in Boquet of Barbed wire, Maddy Prior from Steeleye Span and some others that I can't remember!! Oh and I have had a drink with the Uncle of the Sultan of Oman!

I was on It's Wicked, a Sat morning show and met Cheryl Baker, Tom O-Connor and Craig Charles from Red Dwarf. Only about 13 at the time wearing a really fashionable Minnie Mouse t-shirt with the 80's cut off sleeves. My mum made me do it! We were on holiday in Blackpool and they were looking for people to hang around in 'The Diner'. My 15 minutes of fame! And I was so embarrassed.
