- "He asked for an autograph"...so did his mates and a few hundred others!
The queues started in the early 'hours...' of Friday night / Saturday morning producing some concern on the faces of the local constabulary, but they needn't have worried as the event passed without a hitch and the larger percentage of those that attended got the scribble they were after.
In a session that started at 4:00pm, and lasted just over an hour, most of the lucky early birds managed to receive a brief audience with Mr B, but the necessary evil of the conveyor-belt-turn-around still didn't cater for all of those that queued, including some BowieNet members who had been forewarned but didn't get there early enough! Hallo Susan S ;-)
David laughed, joked and ponced fags* throughout, (even if they were mainly mine) and, in an incredible disregard for his own credibility, even posed with the likes of Rednik and Steve K! Now that is generous.
For a few more pictures taken using my own shaky hand and failing eyesight, join the queue above.
*To clear up a potentially embarrassing translation error, I should point out that to 'ponce a fag' in the UK is the equivalent of asking for a cigarette in the US of A!
