But on the morning of 7th December I had a call to say Alison was unwell and wouldn't be coming...
So I got onto the phone to Lorence and Katie, to re-arrange our plans..

I left home at 3pm, got on the train and sat waiting on the circle line platform heading for Marble Arch awaiting for Katie and Lourence.. they arrivied just as a train was on the platform, so dived onto it..

It was a short walk from Marble Arch, we soon arrived, and we saw a woman with her kid standing there (Shireen and Callan).. we decided to go to the petrol station nearby so katie could get a drink, and then we headed round to the driveway bit of the Grovsner House hotel.. there was a few guys waiting there with there cameras...

We stood there and saw David Coulthard come with his fiancee, so we all rushed up the driveway, grabbing photos/autographs.. before heading back down the driveway..

Then Murray Walker appeared, which I spotted before the others and shouted Murrey Walker.. so once again dived up the driveway...

Afer a while after that we decided to go round to the red carpet area.. we got there in time to grab some decent spots, next to Shireen and Callan.. I was by the doorway wedged by this big blinding spotlight on the floor, but also severed as a heater (hehe!)

We saw LOADS of people, Jason Plato with his wife, James Allen with his wife, Bruno Senna, some of the Lewis Hamilton family members, Ron Dennis (F1 McLaren Boss), Martin Whittmarsh (F1 McLaren excutive), Pat Symonds (Renualt), Allen Mcnish with Tom Kristensen, Shane Lynch of Boyzone, and Sam Michael to name but a few...

And then it was time for them all to sit down for dinner, so we decided to leave.. and head home.

We missed seeing Jenson Button as he went in round to the driveway area where we met John Button and Jules Kulpinski (Jenson PA) last year, and also Lewis Hamilton went in that entrance too...
But we had fun, and still got lots of photos :)
