For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn't enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that's exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He's the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

I met Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio and Blink 182 for a bit, it was at a festival he was acting and he came.up to me and my mate because he couldn't find the stage he was supposed to be on 5 minutes before talking to us.

I guess the most famous I've met is Screamin' Scott Simon of Sha Na Na. He's friends with my mom. Went to visit one year and he took us to his home in the valley of LA. Lovely guy, and the most insane driver I've ever met.

Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, but it was more of a brief wave from a few feet away than meeting them. Still, amazingly cool experience to be that close.
