Ted Danson from Geneva the other day. Real gentleman, very polite and friendly. A class act!

Eric Clapton – A legend and a hell of a nice guy. Gave the entire crew comps for them and their family to his concert

Billy Ray Cyrus – A true gentleman. Blew me away with his humility and manners. When I greeted him at the door of the Premium cabin as Mr Cyrus, he extended his hand and stated “Nice to meet you sir, please call me Billy Ray”. Humble, courteous and appreciative of everything done for him.

Def Leopard – Great bunch of nice ordinary guys. Invited me to sit down and dine with them in First Class as they were the only pax in there and didn’t like to feel they were being waited on.

Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver TV show) – At the height of his career and many of the kids saw he was onboard and asking crew for autographs. Approached him very quietly when he was sitting in seat and not disturbing a book or movie and politely stated that many young fans were down back asking if any chance of autographs. He rightly said this was his time and wont do any, but was spat out as “this is my time – NO”

Xanana Gusmao (President and Freedom Fighter from East Timor) – Humble man and amazing “presence”. Was almost in tears meeting and speaking with him.

Thai Royal Family – Carried the Princess and her children and staff (Booked out FC) and she was beyond delightful and respectful. I politely introduced myself and asked if the young Princes and Princesses would like a beverage. One of the young boys asked “May I have a Coke” and she corrected him and he asked “May I have a Coke please Sir”. Now she had class in bucket loads.

Anastasia – Slept nearly the whole 13 hour flight but very nice and undemanding.

Have always been some that do the “I don’t talk to the help” gig but by and large the vast majority have been lovely and appreciative of the service.

Many over the years - most memorable for loveliness are
Andre Previn in First asking me who the gentleman on the other side was because he had been asked for even more autographs than him - it was George Michael and Mr Previn hadn't heard of him!
Rik Mayall sat on a jumpseat chatting across the atlantic.
Cliff Richard and his leather trousers v. charming.
George Michael (again) asking for seconds - likes airline food apparently.
Tom Jones and missus - tiny folk.
Rowan Atkinson - funniest face even when he's just sat thinking.
Steven Fry, charming and unassuming
Duchess of Kent - most gracious when crewmember thought he knew her!

and for other reasons:-
Sir Bob - his assistant has to speak for him as he can't be bothered
Lisa Minelli and David Guest on their honeymoon - most bizarre behaviour
Corrie 'star' no-one recognised who desperately wanted to give someone an autograph
The Daily Star topless models who crowded into the cockpit and gave the FO the happiest day of his life!
