Encounters with celebrities

Kenny Baker (R2D2) many times, as he lived very near me and our paths used to cross on our daily walks. My wee niece was mighty impressed that I was friends with R2D2

When Sir Peter Ustinov was Rector at Durham Uni, I sat at the next table to him in a local hotel.
Saw Alan Bennett having tea in Betty’s in Harrogate.
Private dinner with the Duchess of Devonshire at Chatsworth with DH on Kennel Club business.
Had I seen Bryan Ferry in Durham Cathedral, I’d have thought I’d died and gone to Heaven!

Lemmy from Motorhead. He was in the private hospital I was an administrator at. He wandered round in grey underpants and had a locked dosset box of drugs. I wasn't super impressed not being a heavy metal fan, until he had to go to the local NHS hospital for scans and the crowd parted for him like Moses and the Red Sea.

Oh yes, and the reference to Sienna Miller above has reminded me! I was her nanny for about a year when she was very young. Nice child. Older sister and the rest of the family were nuts tho.
