Rory Bremner was there on Saturday in a box a few away from us so kept bumping into him in the corridor, Pippa Funnell and Mary King were signing books on Saturday as well, friends partner met Stephen Smith in the toilets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of the competitors were wandering around the shopping village if they weren't riding.
 
We had the real luxury of a private box on Saturday afternoon this year. Well worth doing if you can save up the pennies and fancy a real treat. I also had the 'pulling power' of my 10 year old daughter dressed in a red dress to support British riders (her choice, I didn't twist her arm into wearing it btw).
We got autographs from Nick Skelton, Robert Smith, Mary King(+photo), Ellen Whittaker and Ben Maher(+photo). Also saw Rory Bremner (we sponsored a shetland and went into the arena for the race, he was also sponsoring) and Pippa Funnell. 1 very glowing, over-awed and buzzing 10 year old. Have to say all the riders were very gracious, very friendly and totally happy to pause and sign -
