Hi, Southsea, I have 2 pubs here.

Lindsay Where do you live - I love Joe Jacksons Music .. thought I'd pop down!! LOL Liz

I've met Ronnie Rogers bass player from T'pau (my cousin)Carol Decker (she was his girlfriend), Nick Kershaw while watching said bass player. Edwin Starr in the 70's, Terry Wogan at Ascot races, Nicholas Lyndhurst in our local Woolies, Joe Jackson drinks in my pub when he's in town, Bruce Forsythe when he was in panto was an extra in That'll be the day in the 70'sand met the cast, My partner was an extra in Tommy (also 70's) and got drunk with pete townsend and oliver reed in the queens hotel Southsea I remember them but I doubt they'd remember me though. All that is except Edwin Starr he would but he's shuffled off already ah well!! Janie

I met the Queen when my eldest was in recovering from an op - she was opening the Leicester Royal Infirmary's new children's ward. She was lovely - took time to speak to everyone. At least I recognised her this time - she once came to Stevenage to look at the new housing estates when I was about 5 - apparently I got very upset saying I hadn't seen her because there wasn't a lady wearing a crown!

Diana Doors she was at Skindles Hotel in Maidenhead, she was doing a radio show with Kenny Everet, he was laughing at her and called her a gutty pig because she was eating all the peanuts, an odd couple to be friends but hilarious. Debbie (Canada).

met Donny Osmond. Very yummy but also quite short!

The Duke of Edinburgh. len

I am not a royalist in fact I wouldn't go down the street to see them so> It has been my mis-fortune to meet. HRH Three Feathers, His Mum ER, his Unc, D O Kent. But do you know the person that I most enjoyed meeting was Harry Seacombe. What a terrific sense of humour he had. Ernestxx

Served tea to Sally Whittaker aka sally Webster today

When I was 14, I worked weekends in the Crown Hotel in Matlock, Derbyshire. One Sunday, we had a football team come in for afternoon tea upstairs. My brother was getting autographs left right and centre ... I was none the wiser ! not interested in football. I kept asking my brother what all the excitement was about ... he just laughed at me and told me I was stupid ! When the Owners of the hotel came in later I asked them... Man Utd Football team ... Top of the league at the time ! Derrr ! I also went to school with a famous snooker player who lived at Darley Dale, Nr Matlock. He was in the year below me ... can't think of his name off hand .. think he won this year or he was in the final ? Paul ?? Thats my lot ! nothing spectacular ... Oh, met the Queen in 1977 at her jubilee .. she came to Matlock and handed out Silver Spoons (still got mine !) Elaine :-)

Many years ago, when Chuck Berry was leaving the theatre where I had seen him about an hour previously, he asked me where his hotel was!!

Rugby - Jason Robinson has been into where I work, my partner works with Mick Cassidys mother, and knows Mick well, Sean Edwards. Motorsport - Bob Heath, Geoff Duke, Stanley Woods, Chris Vincent (used to race sidecars), Sammy Miller, Carl Fogarty, Bill Swallow, Joey Dunlop, and I've danced with Roger Marshall (1970s motorcycle racer). Heather Small coming out of the local spar. Russell Boulter (the bill) used to go to the same school. Had my pic took with Reg Holdsworth from corrie (can't think of his real name). Saw Larry Grayson years ago in his rolls royce in Torquay. A friend of ours is very pally with Pete Waterman. All a bit sad really.

I was blessed by the pope when he was over many years ago, my husband was well pleased he thought I'd never get another headache hehe. Lynda

Leo Sayer - he was staying at the same hotel in the Isle of Man. Janice Long (ex Radio 1 DJ and sister of Keith Chegwin) was also staying there. Norman Wisdom - He did a show in Leamington and I met him afterwards. Josephine Cox (One of my favourite authors), Rolf Harris and David Attenborough. That's all I think. Mel

Suppose I am lucky, and have met quite a few people as I live behind Shepperton Film studios, Sometimes when they build sets out by the river we get to watch, While my son was in hospital Bobby Davro came into the ward with a giant Easter Egg for the children. Sue.. my dad went to school with Harry Seacombe. Pat

Met Cliff and the shadows at Divito's coffee bar in Barnstaple 1959 they bought me coffee and we all sat chatting we were the only one's in there they were playing at the Queens Hall Matt Monroe at USAF base Alconbury. Johnny Duncan .

Have met Richard Branson at Virgin Atlantic (as it was then) functions when I worked in travel. Ate at next table to Paolo di Canio last year - as tasty as the food!!! Saw Patsy Palmer yesterday at a fundraiser for our local children's Hospice - Haven House in Woodford Green - and met Ian Duncan-Smith there 2 years ago. He is the local MP. Hubby used to work in travel agent in the House of Commons and met all the MP's - well, those down-to-earth enough to do their own bookings. He was very taken with Charles Kennedy - nice, normal bloke apparently. Maz. XX
