Nelson Mandela!!! (London)

[James]

At the unveiling of his statue, I managed to get autographs from:

Ken Livingstone- Mayor of London
David Cameron- Conservative Leader
Floella Benjamin- TV presenter & Chancellor
Joanna Lumley- Actress
Brian May- Queen

I also saw:

Nelson Mandela- didn't sign
Gordon Brown
Roger Taylor- Queen
Naomi Campbell
Sir Richard Attenborough

Overall had a great day & was amazed that I managed to get some great autos & to see some amazing people.

Nice succeses !

I missed this event just ! Walked past it to see all the coppers there and it had just finished

Well done to you though !

[James]

Unlucky. It was a good event, I arrived 5 minutes after the statue was unveiled so I missed Mandela talking.

Too bad President Mandella wouldn't sign for you. He hasn't signed in years. He would have been a good one to get for your auction - I've seen his signature sell for $11,000 USD and higher.

I have a stamped photo from him, and although it's not authentic, I certainly cherish it!

How did you get the stamped photo?

[James]

I certainly wasn't expecting him to sign since his signature is worth so much!
