Have You Ever Met a Celebrity or Well Known Person for What They Do?

Hi Nadia. I have met Dan Jones, Sam Willis and James Daybell which I doubt are names generally known. They are all historians and are regularly on tv. I have great respect for anyone who excels in their field and their books and documentaries have taught me loads.

Working In a theatre I've met a fair few celebrities.

I have mentioned In another post how I beat a Nolan Sister at Karaoke.

One for the older generation here - about 25 years ago I presented Yehudi Menuhin with a birthday cake.

Played and lost darts to Nick Berry (ex Eastenders)

Walked past Gary Glitter backstage (If only I'd known then what I know now I'd of thumped him, twice)

3 quarters of Bucks Fizz blanked me, despite me making them lunch.

I have been very lucky in that a former place and nature of my work was a venue for films and the owners very friendly with Royalty

I met Ed Sheeran many years ago at a tiny little gig he was playing in Southampton about a month before he became famous.. we got to hug him (Regretted that because he was DRENCHED in sweat ) and take photos with him after the gig.. it was so small he spent half of it stood on a bar stool in the middle of the crowd playing his guitar and singing without a mic / speakers
