Met the Queen Mother and Alan Titchmarsh, back when I was doing my apprenticeship. The company I was working for, built a show garden for the Hampton Court garden festival....... Alan Titchmarsh was escorting her maj around all the gardens on judgeing day, and we all had to do the bow and handshake thing.

 

Similar sort of era we did a job at Stanley Kubriks house..... he wasn't in though.

 

Worked at Geoffrey Archers house in Cambridge many years ago....... His in-house Gardener was a..... well, "She" had a really gruff voice, and hands like shovels!

 

Turned up to top a big conifer hedge in Barnett about 7 or 8 years ago..... the hedge was on the dividing boundary fence between 2 rear gardens...... went round to neighbours to ask if I could drop the odd bit in their garden, and who should open the front door?? David Ginola. He had really REALLY shiney hair!
