I got a photo with Sven Goran Eriksson when he was Leicester City FC manager a decade or so ago.

Hardly The Queen, but he's a significant improvement over my #2. (Samantha Bailey).

I was Terry Pratchett's gofer at an event once, quite early in his career.

I have met and chatted with Prof Ron Hutton a couple of times.

I ferried Portillo across a river for one of his shows - and was briefly featured as a result. He was an arrogant git.

Others would include Roy Hudd, Tony Benn, Swampy, Chris Packham and probably a couple of others.

Do you still regret the missed opportunity? :-)
