I often wonder when I see high ranking politicians boarding flights, how many security personal they have with them.

Several years ago I saw Al Gore at the LHR Clubhouse, he was on the late flight to EWR, I was on my way to HKG.

LHR-JFK last Feb, a somewhat dishevelled looking Sir Ian MacKellan in the Clubhouse and then in UC, a few rows behind me...generally appeared pleasent enough but was continually up & down & moving around the cabin, to the obvious amusement of some of the crew.

I was travelling with a small group to MIA UC therefore was picked up by limo. One of my colleagues (travelling in a separate limo from another direction) is called 'Del' - nothing strange there... however, as we pulled into the drive-in check-in, the driver pointed out that in the car in front was "Del" - "How does he know my colleague?" I wondered. It was actually David Jason! (with family and heading out to MIA on the same flight as us). Same day in the CH as I was retelling this story, we noticed that we were sitting next to Martin Sheen.

I forgot that we also had the Archbishop of Canterbury popping out of UC for a chat once when we were in PE. He'd been very helpful to small son's school when he was the local Bishop of Monmouth and had had a picture with said sprog in the local paper, so knew him. Slightly confused other passengers, one of whom said he'd always assumed that he would have spoken English (we'd been talking in Welsh) 
He got VIP'd at IAD but we kept passing him at the side in the immigration queue as his luggage had gone walkabout.

Britain's embattled Davis Cup tennis coach, John Lloyd, on VS7, LHR-LAX, in upper class. Assume he was returning from Lithuania. Difficult for him to forget his team's catastrophic reversal since all the papers, and even the IFE Sky News feed, had headlines screaming for him to be sacked.

Saw Russell Brand and Colin Firth in LHR Clubhouse on Dec 27th 09 (not travelling together !)
Peter Andre HKG - LHR last year.
Some guy from Coronation Street on his way to Oz in Dec who thought he was a big star and sat for all his meals at the bar being regal.
