Celeb spotting

[Wallace]

Who are the best / worst celebs you've spotted at Glastonbury and where are the best places to bump into one

[lucyginger]

We met Emily Eavis at the cream tea place in the Greenfields in 2013. She was lovely

[tom22]

Dynamo was behind me in ice cream queue in 2013.

Walked past Bradley Cooper last year by Other Stage.

Keith Richards waving out of the limousine as we waited to cross over to the John Peel tent

Saw Peter Sutcliffe queuing for the Chill n Charge place in 2009.

Harry Enfield, every bloody year!

[gmb1992]

Saw Florence Welch in Silver Hayes in 2013... smaller than I imagined

[ryan.smith]

Also stood next to Phil Jupitus watching Wu Tang back in 11 (think it was 11?)

I even shook his hand I think, I came over all star struck

Celebrity spotting is an odd hobby, never understood it. Not saying anyone here was purposely looking for them, it's just odd.

[LEDZEP66]

Stood next to the young stark girl from game of thrones watching blondie

[phillyfaddle]

David Tennant standing in front of us at the Pyramid in 2005, at the height of his Doctor Who celebrity. He was grinning from ear to ear.

Also Chris Moyles, so not enjoying the mud in 2007 was wonderful to behold.

PS Metallica hung out at the Rabbit Hole on the Friday night last year.....friend is one of the crew.

Saw Noel Gallagher walking through the crowd during two door cinema club in 2013

Walked past Example in 2013 in South Park

[Space Shanty]

I fell on my arse right in front of Keira Knightly one year.

You could tell she was impressed.

Saw Michael Fassbender in Block 9 last year too at about 4am although I had to be convinced it was him at first

[Wallace]

I saw Jarvis Cocker wandering around Shangri La in 2011 at around 3am before he did a secret DJ set

[Funkyfairy!]

No-one, (apart from Neil) - I probably have but wouldn't recognise them unless they screamed their name out or were wearing name badges

I've been backstage at BBC introducing for a few years, stood at the side of the stage when Zane Lowe DJ'd, Stornaway and other bands have played and mingled with the BBC introducing bands backstage but they were all just doing their job - it was really interesting back there though and an honour to see what its like

Jo Whiley sat and had a chat, but again she was in the middle of doing her job and interviewing bands

I'm rubbish at 'celeb' spotting though !

Is it really bad/miserable to think that I actively wouldn't want to bump into celebs?!

For me, part of a festival is distancing myself from the outside world. I'm probably in a majority on here who are arrogant enough to presume that your Rooneys etc. really are only at GF to be seen.

I love the fact that I come through the gates of a festival and am isloated from all the normal, daily crap. I don't really understand why people want to read newspapers when they're in. I don't look at the 'net, ot Twitter etc. (though I know some will use the latter for secret set info etc. - I'd rather find out 'organically'!).

I know that could sound very 'selfish' as, for those 5 days, I am actively not giving a shit about anyone in the world other than myself and fellow festival goers, which might be awfully indulgent. But I give enough to others the rest of the year, so my guilt is quickly assuaged...!

Edit - just reading that through, I felt I should qualify that I am not saying that just because you're a celeb, you can't be as 'legitimate' a GF fan as anyone else. Didn't want to sound like too elitist an arse...

[The Nal]

Suggs in the Rocket Lounge, djing at 4am, wearing a blonde wig, offered to buy him a drink, he sort of drunkenly grunted "no thanks", pointed at the direction of the turntable, played I Can See Clearly Now by John Nash 4 times in a row and then fell off the stage.

[PaulieV]

Matt Smith - Shangri-La 2010

Had a little chat with Zoe Ball whilst walking up to The Park last year.

Charlie Brooker looking hacked off obviously 2007 Pyramid Stage.
