Oh I forgot, Duke of Edinborough when he came on a tour to our factory and Terry Scott, RIP, (from Terry and June and various carry on films) was my
cousin. Oh yeah and my cousin Ashley Beedle had a number one hit with 'Lazy' which he co- wrote and produced with his mate David Byrne
from Talking Heads who actually sung it.
Cheers
Jon

I worked for a 'celebrity' video production company and also was a freelance video and stills paparazzi for a while - so here goes:
Princess Diana
Cher
Rachael Weiz - the most beautiful of all of them - and the rest of 'The Mummy' cast
Richard Gere
Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant (and Liz Hurley) and rest of 'Notting Hill' cast
Inxs - when Hutchins was alive with Geldoffs ex - oh - and Geldoff
Jeff Goldblum
Both Liam and Noel Gallagher
Patsy Kensit - she accused me of assault and I spent 8 hours in a Marlybone police cell
Eric Clapton
Ringo Star
Elton John
Various unremebered boy bands
Joanna Lumley
Jordan - clipped a mic to her unexpanded chest!
One of the celebrity Playboy girls, can't remeber her name
Loads of B-list English TV people, forgotten more than I can remember
Missed out on meeting Kylie as I was ill - gutted!
And the list goes on and on....

Not many at all! I must have led a sheltered life too, but curiously, like Stephen Gusterton, I have met Richard Noble.
Other than that, John Cleland and a few politicians who I really can't be bothered to name!

Kenneth Baker (former MP), and he's just as much of a slimebag in real life as on TV.
Spoke briefly to the late Kieth Odor at Donnington as he signed my race program, seemed a nice lad.
That's about it really.

barry sheavills, he seemed nice enough
jim bowen, top guy, met him when we went to see through the key hole being filmed, and also tamara beckwith who seemed more interestred to bugger off,
but said hello as she went past. thought i might meet richard burns as well, but he did his bit as a video clip, since he was in andorra iirc.
steve murty on various occasions at drag racing and such like
richard whiteley who is a glorious w*nk*r, incase you hadnt guessed. he loves himself, but is about as funny as aids.
carol vorderman is a really nice person, much less annoying to talk to than in her various adverts. i had to appologise to her, on the countdown set
for saying she had a fat arse as she walked through the foyer at ytv. oooops. she took it in good humour though, and she ended up talking to us for
about 10 mins. i met jim bowen again that time at countdown - can he not get much work these days?
oh and i've met pat, carl and vintagebuilder to name but a few. stand up fellas they are too

Ahhhh, just thought, my crappy memory is failing me again! I met Richard Burns and most of the Pug rally team in a Hotel in Gap the day before the
start of the 2003 Monte Carlo Rally.
I also shook hands with Sebastian Loeb, whilst he educated us on the correct pronunciation of his name!!! (he is a really friendly and unpretensious
chap!)
Also watched that psycho french team mate of his whose name I have forgotten climb from his terminally wrecked citroen xsara WRC on a stage that year
too! (oh yes, remembered the name Phillipe Bugalski!)
Got an autograph from Colin McRae too!

Cant compete with Jasper's list, but did get pissed with Lemmy in an LA nightclub, and had a big falling out with New Kids on The block the same
night. (great night)
Had a beer with Frankie Chilli at Brands, top bloke.
various other bike racers, the most noteable the late, great Mr Sheene.
