They would brave the elements for hours to catch a glimpse of popular members. Afterwards, those who had waited were starstruck, especially if they had shared a handshake or a few words."
"One woman made headlines for revealing Queen Elizabeth said "Sorry, pet" when she accidentally trod on her toe."
