They were def there in 2010 , I remember them clearly though I thought it was 2009 ( we weren't there in 2008 ) but the announcement then was that it was a favour for Lord Suffolk too. They were on their way to an airshow and made a special diversion

Yes, I saw them. Was standing not far from Grey but didn't know him then. Good grief was that 2008?

I remember them in 2008

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrL_NG6Bdoo

Don't recall them in 2010 though...

The 2008 appearance was - I seem to recall - a favour called in by Lord Suffolk for one of his friends?

It probably depends who sees you. . . if it's PG and he thinks he's discovered the next big signing for Real World you'll be given VIP treatment. . . if "security" think you're disturbing the folks in the Big Red Tent then you'll probably end up playing your banjo rectally.
