Paul arrived dead on time at 2.30pm. He posed for the photographers and then gave some brief TV interviews. In the one shown on London Tonight he said that he hadn't yet been affected by the foot and mouth outbreak - apart from restrictions on moving animals.
Surprisingly there weren't many fans there - mostly employees of Kew Gardens. After the press session was over Paul stopped to sign some autographs. I rushed over as I wanted my copy of Blackbird Singing signed. He recognised me straight away and said 'Hi, how ya doin'. One lady wanted an autograph but didn't have anything for Paul to sign. She was frantically asking people there for a piece of paper for Paul to sign. While this was going on I was taking the pictures you can see below. I then got my book signed.
Heather Mills accompanied Paul to Kew Gardens but made very sure she was not photographed with him.
Later Paul was given a tour of Kew Gardens and attended a special function for invited guest only - not me worst luck but I enjoyed seeing Paul again.
