Jeremy Clarkson enjoying breakfast in First Lounge at T5 now. He did not enjoy security as much as breakfast.

Hugh Grant with I think his father in the Concorde room last year; also Prince Charles ... ok not celeb but royal ... (and his guards and yes with guns onboard) last year also from LHR to ZRH, he was the last one to board with a strictly reserved overhead compartment for him in Row 1 .. he was in 1A and I was sitting in Row 2. Curtain closed for business class the entire flight and cabin crew strictly enforcing traffic into business class the entire flight.
I sat next to Perluigi Collina in the lounge at Florence

Two weeks ago enroute to NY saw the great Cristoph Waltz in FL balcony quietly sipping champagne with his wife. I really like his acting and try and see all his films (especially if Tarantino is directing) but respected his privacy and I am not into the whole signature thing.
On the flight back a few days ago saw the one and only Busta Rhymes. By far my favourite musician. Boy was I shell shocked. And well done BA for giving this amazing artist the honor he deserves. The captain even came down pre flight to give him a personal welcome (on a personal note there was this DYKWIA who thought she could take up all the overhead bin space to herself, but I'll leave that to the DYKWIA thread). I even knew him, briefly, from our early days in the music world (called him Trevor back then), but as I was after quite a few drinks in the CCR, was on the other side of the cabin and he was getting enough attention anyway, didn't get to round to say hello. BA even organised for him a personal escort off the plane, now that is the way to fly!

Busta Rhymes was reportedly escorted off a first class British Airways flight after an alleged 'verbal altercation' with another passenger over luggage space

Helena Bonham Carter with a BA first ticket to LHR, and not quite sure why she had been taken to the the AA First Dining room at JFK. (AA/BA codeshare)
Oh and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitch from Modern Family) and his husband, too, but that's for celebs on AA I guess, not BA. Sorry if OT! :-)

Perhaps he's finally leaving the country, although doing it via the CCR doesn't quite match the reason.
