She's a legend. Love her.

There was a time when you wouldn't have had to explain who he was....!

She’s lovely. Was in the same lift down from the lounge complex and chatted briefly on way to gate.

Heading back for his SAS briefing. They call him when the proverbial hits the fan! 😁😁😂

I was hoping one day we can spot GGL celebrities and perhaps play a game with that

Yeah, I'll be expecting to see my own name "spotted in the CCR" tomorrow.

I'm the guy in the "Lehman Brothers Risk Management Team Employee of the Year 2008" T-shirt.

Unbeknownst to me a friend photographed me coming down the escalators at Galleries South while he was going up; just happened to be there the same day without knowing.

I knew when I got a WhatsApp of 'Shock as AviationMoose seen leaving BA lounge looking worse for wear!'

Not sure that counts, but it's close.

maybe a bit of a trope, but he's a lot smaller in real life 😆

The few times I have been in the CCR I know that there are celebrities and I should be able to spot them but I can't. So I just make it up when I tell my CCR experience to my friends.
