ok, ok so I was temporarily starstruck. It was Sir Paul McCartney. No entourage and very pleasant indeed.

There’s nothing quite like listening to your very favourite music (Hey Jude) knowing the artist is 3metres away in 1A.

I was going to say that anything short of a Beatles' or Led Zep member would be meh! I guess I was right

I think I must be the only British person who can't stand the Beatles or Sir Paul...best I keep away from Liverpool I guess

Led Zep on the other hand...

I saw him a couple of times last year in the First Lounge at T5. When the CCR was closed the celeb spotting was much better than normal in the GF.

Billy Monger (racing driver and Channel 4 F1 pundit) on the way to DXB (yesterday I think).

Seems he got upgraded from Y to F too! Said he got an upgrade. His boarding pass said WT and he was sipping bubbles in F.

Possibly (!) getting a little off-topic...my wife tried to persuade me to go along to a summer fete at a public school local to us a few years ago.

I declined.

When she got home I asked how it went....'had a great time, sat next to a lovely man who was recovering from knee surgery and was frustrated not to be able to get out to tend his garden as much as he would like. Had a good chat about gardening though'.

This of course was Jimmy Page.....no talk of wild times on the road or the works of Aleister Crowley.

Why do people have to comment on “famous” people, is it to brag and like a trophy, I have never commented on all of the many “famous” people that I have met, nor will I?
Let’s just say for example Rob Rinder and Sarah Willingham are having an affair, are these people not allowed a private life, how would you like your whereabouts publicly posted on the internet?

I've always thought of this thread as just a bit of fun - a light-hearted part of the variety of stuff we get on the forum. I'm clueless when it comes to most celebrities!

If Rob Rinder and Sarah Willingham were having an affair, I would have probably choked on and spat out my LPGS.

TBH though the tabloids would have picked it up far quicker than flyertalk.

All part and parcel of being a public figure in public I'm afraid. But it's no secret ...

But just to taint the thread further, I was sat behind Suzi Quattro on a Ryanair flight back from Brno a few years back. I felt so sorry for her having to fly FR that I never told anyone until today. 🤣🤣🤣

Ummm... then perhaps you should just choose not to click on/read a thread that is clearly titled "Celebs on BA?" I mean, that's an option too, right?
