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

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.

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!!

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 :-)

Served tea to Sally Whittaker aka sally Webster today

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

The Duke of Edinburgh. len

met Donny Osmond. Very yummy but also quite short!

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).

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!

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

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