Well my sister has met the queen and engaged in a brief conversation with her (and yes obviously at an official arranged event as opposed to bumping into her in Tescos).
Who have I met? During my time as a pizza delivery driver I have delivered pizzas to Natalie Cornagh (BBC South West news presenter) and Craig Rich (three quarters-retired BBC South West weatherman, the first BBC regional weatherman too I have to add) at the BBC South West bar. Have also put a pizza into the hands of Peter Griffin (Westcountry CA from 1993-2002, still pops up occassionaly as a part time newsreader and weatherman (and now in vision!).
I received my A-level certificates from Candy Atherton (then MP, held the Falmouth&Camborne seat for Labour from 1997-2005) and when my secondary school received technology college status, I received a certificate of achievement at the official re-opening from Sebastian Coe OBE (then MP, held the Falmouth&Camborne seat for the Conservatives from 1992-1997 and of course is much more widely known in sporting circles).
Aswell as that, I've shaken the hand of Michael Aspel when he was presenting an edition of Antiques Roadshow from Alverton Manor in Truro.

Charlotte Church was at my cousins wedding back in 1997 BEFORE she became famous, she had a scarily high voice even back then !

All I can say is that she knows how to drink!
She's often in Creation Cardiff getting rat-arsed with Gavin Henson. It's amazing how many local girls all hate her. They txt the big screen in the club with "OI CHARLOTTE! GET DA FUCK OUTTA HERE U SLAG" etc.
Most amusing, and then you have the Paparazzi outside waiting for her when you leave.

Cannon & Ball outside the Futurist Theatre in Scarborough.
This thread may as well stop now, that can't be topped.

I met Philip Schofield when I was little and apparently refused to talk to him.
On the Circle and District Line I was in the same carriage as, wait for it, Paul Morley. YES. I know what you're thinking. PAUL MORLEY.
Now queue up to congratulate me.

...I almost forgot. I think we should have a thread dedicated to celebrities you've walked past.
I walked past Tony "Baldrick"/"Look what oiv'e fownd Tony" Robinson at the Millennum Dome. And I also walked past top radio and television star Simon Mayo (of "Confessions" fame) near Broadcasting House.

How do I get to meet you, Nick?
Are you going to be skipping naked around Stonehenge on June 21st?

Bit of a problem there, I'm afraid.
The local constabulary don't go a bundle on the naked option.
The Druid's uniform is out this year, because of the hoodie attached.
Suppose it'll have to be the cowboy hat, AGAIN.
