Gavin and I had a nice lie in this morning which was well needed and I started to feel a little better! Left London and took a detour to places that I can’t tell you about and arrived in Croydon at 2 to park at Andy’s so we could get drunk later! Got the tram from Sandilands after Gavin managed to break the ticket machine with his £5 note then jumped on a train at east crooydon into London bridge. Got the tube up to Wembley- trying to get there for 3 but didn’t make it. Only half an hour late though- went the wrong way out of the tube station but bumped into Jeff Scott Soto and had a quick chat with him! Finally headed off in the right direction and got to the pub. Met Thomas and Phil plus some other people from the board. There were already lots of Queen fans in the pub so they put on Greatest hits one. Unfortunately this was the only Queen CD they had!! Gavin got me a pint which was a bad idea to start with but on my round I got us double vodkas and lemonade. Vern, Julie, Alessia, Jen, Trina, Michelle, Brigitte and Jamie all turned up during the afternoon and Gavin and I got more and more drunk! I remember singing very badly to Fat bottomed girls at one point! Loretta was there wearing his crown!!

Vern and Julie headed off earlier then us and I got a phone call from Vern saying there was a catwalk and I knew then that our tickets would be right next to it!
The rest of us went down to the venue at around 6.30 screaming at the Freddie mosaic on the wall and shouting at a random bloke we met in Birmingham whilst singing the tour song ‘Is this the way to Amarillo?’!!

Arrived in the venue and got to the seats and I was right. There I was right next to the right hand side of the catwalk. I knew this was going to be a good gig! Vern came over, turned out Julie’s mum had a ticket in row 16 right in front of the catwalk so Julie had booted her out and swapped seats so she was sitting on the front row of the side block. Vern joined us as he was also on the side block as was Michelle so Gavin, Matt, Vern, Michelle and me all sat in our 3 seats when they told us to sit down! That didn’t last long and we were all up along the barrier with a few others but most people chose to stay in their seats. The security guards didn’t let anyone through so block A had the barrier all to ourselves!
Paul arrived on stage through the curtain this time and I was off!! I don’t think I stopped dancing once!!!

After drinking 7 double vodkas and a pint of beer, I was a little loud and over the top to say the least!!! Here are just a few of the things that I remember or have been told about:
-Paul looked over at me when walking to the front of the catwalk to join Brian for Hammer to fall
-I managed to try and throw a box of condoms I got from Alessia at Roger but missed!!
-Must have screamed so loud when Roger walked past me at one point that I scared the life out of him
- I have been told that I shouted ‘Roger I want your babies’ at him!
Roger’s daughter was on stage next to the drums for a bit at the end of the show. At the end of the show as Roger was walking back along the catwalk he leaned down and touched my hand. I almost died. I collapsed on the floor screaming about it and wasn’t making any sense. The next bit was a bit of a blur. I remember seeing Rick Parfitt from Status Quo and was about to go and ask him about Roger Taylor as they are friends but got distracted by someone saying they knew Paul Rodgers- I burst right in and told them I had met him at some of the gigs and I loved his trousers. Looking back on it now, I think his son and daughter might have been in the group as it turns out they were sitting near us! How embarrassing! Went to meet everyone by the sound desk and had just missed Roger’s ex girlfriend and daughter but managed to say hi to Jeff Scott Soto again!

We all left to try and find a pub but failed and ended up in McDonalds instead then went on the long journey back to Croydon!!
