I walked past the guy in black, and thought it was someone trying to look like Chris Martin, especially as he didn't sound like I thought he did.
And then I thought maybe it is. I overheard someone else saying "It is David Gray". By this time I was trying to surreptitiously take a photograph, only was being me, and er, I don't do people, plus was trying to be discrete, as it's a bit rude. So I gave up and we wandered off.
At which point my friend discovered my attempts at subtly conveying the "It's Chris Martin" message actually had some purpose behind them, once I reminded her who the lead singer of Coldplay was. So she made me go back, but a girl was busy getting an autograph from a merely civil CM, so it didn't seem wise to go bounding up (plus how does one say "Really love your stuff. Ok, so it gets a bit samey, but it's cool", while trying not to say "You just annoy me. Learn to sing" to the other one). And then while loitering for a shot Mr Gray said, apparently in a discussion about what to do next, "There's people taking photographs", as they both turned towards me.
I wasn't brave enough to point out I hadn't taken one yet. So I hurried away, taking this in retreat.
Oh, and both had children with them (hence standing by Barbie's private helicopter), but I wouldn't be able to tell one from the other (er, sort of child shaped, blondish hair, might have been a girl). No idea if Mrs Martin was there, as Gwyneth Paltrow is remarkably hard to visualise (I kept getting stuck on Cameron Diaz).
Tip for pulling off the ordinary bloke look; do not both be wearing the biggest sunglasses this side of Mercury. They may be fashionable, but it's a funfair not Mayfair; you stand out a mile. Plus it's not sunny.
