Have you ever been in the presence of greatness ? if so who and when did you realise ? I am not talking mum's / dads / grandparents etc l am talking people who have / will go down in history. I dont even think l have met anyone particularly famous let alone someone who will leave a mark in history.
The presence of greatness. I used to work on a lot of pop videos and commercials and met loads of people then, but the only time I was ever lost for words was when I met Ray Davies. I did offer him a cup of tea though. He accepted.
The presence of greatness. Ohh good question! Nowhere near enough to leave a lasting legacy, but when I was 15 I met a 100 year old first world war veteran who had been decorated for bravery in the trenches. Fred Wall his name was.
The presence of greatness. Charlie cairoli the clown from Blackpool! Search him very famous in the clown world lol! Serious tho he's in my uncles lodge
The presence of greatness. Cheers, true story tho! Dead famous clown family! Tell you a little story I was told by Charlie! Charlie's dad was the original clown and hittler loved him and before world war 2 started hitler sent him a Rolex. Well when the war started Charlie's dad sent the watch back from central pier via lots of balloons haha true story this
The presence of greatness. met micheal jacksons sister in barbados 17 years ago, but i dont think she realized who she was talking to lol
The presence of greatness. Met Prince Charles 3 times, seemed ok. Met one of the dambusters when I was a small child, due to my age didn't understand the magnificent bravery of him. Met quite a few 1990's Dutch international football players on a trip to Africa, their behavior towards the Africans left me feeling ashamed to be anywhere near them.
The presence of greatness. When you think about people like George Best, Gazza, singers like Elvis, Tom Jones who at one time were average joe's then bang they hit it big... That type of thing.
