On my break I was sitting in the gardens of where I worked and he sat down next to me and we talked for about 30mins about nature,local birds, bees as we had bees that made honey that we sold and used for cooking,astronomy and where we came from and grew up. He was a really charming, kind and down to earth bloke. I didn't ask for an autograph or photo or anything like that I just wanted to act like a normal human being and treat him like a normal person.

For my 40th birthday in June 2022 I went to see Queen + Adam Lambert in Birmingham. We caught the train from Shrewsbury my home town to Birmingham where the concert was. We sat opposite José Mourinho who was the most down to earth friendly person, he initiated conversation with me and my girlfriend and we asked him why he was visiting Shrewsbury where he boarded the train with us; he was in Shrewsbury visiting a young disabled lads family he had met and befriended when Chelsea was drawn to play against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup a few years ago. The young lad sadly died of a brain tumor but he has stayed in touch and regularly visited the lads family ever since. Prior to meeting him on the train, my impression of him was of an arrogant and inpolite person from watching his interviews on TV, but he is the most friendly and down to earth person I've met.

The assistant still refused to serve him and Sid was told he wasn't going to be served as he'd pushed his way to the front of the queue. He then threw his un-purchased items to the floor and stormed out with a face like thunder, shouting "do you know who I am?!" "Effing cxxts" and allsorts of swearing and shouting.

Meet Paul McCartney around 1982 at Broad Street Station, London whilst he was on set filming Give My Regards to Broad Street. A real gentleman - I was stationed at Liverpool Street Station on nights and he couldn't do enough for the people. I had a photo taken with him, he signed both my Beatles White Album and Sgt. Pepper's remarking "that's an old one" He, along with brother Mick McGear (The Scaffold fame) also signed my sister-in-laws autograph book. We were allowed on to the film set at Broad Street where we met Beatles Producer George Martin. We were over the moon at meeting Paul and met him a couple of more times as the filming continued on for a few nights.

He had an idea for a different script which we eventually ran with. Another super celeb was Simon Cadell of Hi De Hi fame. Just pleasant and professional with a wicked sense of humor. Another was John Challis who played Boycie in Only Fools. Just a really nice guy, no airs and graces, no ego at all.

We had all got out so we wouldn't struggle out the doors when he finished parking up. Well he was making a hash off it, took him quite some time to manage it. Which meant he ended up blocking four lads from coming past and exiting the car park making them wait till he finished up. I thought, Oh! their gonna have a few words to say about this. No, they waited patiently, clapped (none sarcastically) when he'd finished and congratulated my dad once he has squeezed out the car and wished us all good day or words to that effect as they walked off out the car park. Only years later once they'd achieved fame did I realise those lads were Noel and Liam, and the other founding members of Oasis (except Bonehead).

Saw Hot Chocolate at Penn Fest, Buckinghamshire about 10 years ago. Only watched their set as our friend wanted to see them. What a set! Errol made the day! Just such a kind, gentle and generous performer! I'd never listened to Hot Chocolate before or since so I'm not a fan by any means but that man had charisma. So glad I watched that set and I was so saddened he died not long after.

I got on a train in London many years ago and there were no seats. I was in the navy at the time on my way to Portsmouth. The train guard saw I was carrying loads of bags and said he would see if there were any seats in the first class compartments. He said yes come this way you can sit in here. A bloke with a beard and hat was sat in the first class compartment reading a newspaper. After about ten minutes he started chatting to me and he was really friendly. Then I realised in was Bob Hoskins. Had a good chat with him before he got off the train. Nice bloke.

Seen and met a few celebs/stars/sports people over the years. 1993 sat on a bench seat in Terminal 1 Heathrow. I was reading a book but could sense a kerfuffle to my left as a person sat on the end of the bench. I looked up after 30 seconds of not wanting to seem nosy. 6 or 7 photographers to my front, Madonna sat 4 feet away wearing a tracksuit and baseball hat chewing gum. She just looked at me and smiled and said "You better smile and look good on my photos". Being 18 at the time I just smiled back and got back to my book. A few minutes later a security guard whom I hadn't noticed whispered something in her ear and she got up and walked the other direction. Looked for days after to see if those pics ever got published anywhere, but I never seen them. I somehow think I would of been cropped out anyhow. But she seemed pretty cool that day.

there's a lovely story out there about a kid and his dad meeting Roger Moore in Nice airport departure lounge and then decades later meeting him again - i think he was a sound engineer or something like that - while RM was being interviewed. It brought a tear to my eye - worth reading about it if you can find it on the web. I think the story came about after RM passed a few years ago.

[@dlbia9569]

Love that story especially as I'm a big 007 / Roger Moore fan Cool he stayed in character as 007 around the kid but not with adults, That's an absolute legend and more importantly a gentleman 👍🏻👌🏻

[@jnwhitaker]

It was buy a guy called Marc Haynes: "As an seven year old in about 1983, in the days before First Class Lounges at airports, I was with my grandad in Nice Airport and saw Roger Moore sitting at the departure gate, reading a paper. I told my granddad I'd just seen James Bond and asked if we could go over so I could get his autograph. My grandad had no idea who James Bond or Roger Moore were, so we walked over and he popped me in front of Roger Moore, with the words "my grandson says you're famous. Can you sign this?" As charming as you'd expect, Roger asks my name and duly signs the back of my plane ticket, a fulsome note full of best wishes. I'm ecstatic, but as we head back to our seats, I glance down at the signature. It's hard to decipher it but it definitely doesn't say 'James Bond'. My grandad looks at it, half figures out it says 'Roger Moore' - I have absolutely no idea who that is, and my hearts sinks. I tell my grandad he's signed it wrong, that he's put someone else's name - so my grandad heads back to Roger Moore, holding the ticket which he's only just signed. I remember staying by our seats and my grandad saying "he says you've signed the wrong name. He says your name is James Bond." Roger Moore's face crinkled up with realisation and he beckoned me over. When I was by his knee, he leant over, looked from side to side, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said to me, "I have to sign my name as 'Roger Moore' because otherwise...Blofeld might find out I was here." He asked me not to tell anyone that I'd just seen James Bond, and he thanked me for keeping his secret. I went back to our seats, my nerves absolutely jangling with delight. My grandad asked me if he'd signed 'James Bond.' No, I said. I'd got it wrong. I was working with James Bond now. Many, many years later, I was working as a scriptwriter on a recording that involved UNICEF, and Roger Moore was doing a piece to camera as an ambassador. He was completely lovely and while the cameramen were setting up, I told him in passing the story of when I met him in Nice Airport. He was happy to hear it, and he had a chuckle and said "Well, I don't remember but I'm glad you got to meet James Bond." So that was lovely. And then he did something so brilliant. After the filming, he walked past me in the corridor, heading out to his car - but as he got level, he paused, looked both ways, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said, "Of course I remember our meeting in Nice. But I didn't say anything in there, because those cameramen - any one of them could be working for Blofeld." I was as delighted at 30 as I had been at 7. What a man. What a tremendous man."
