Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?
We had two royal princes
Sandbagging our road.
It happened some eight years ago
In the Datchet floods.
The floods were very bad that year
The Thames had burst its banks.
We were in the news each day
A river through our streets.
Among the worst affected
We had water in the house
There were sandbags by the river
But they weren’t helping us
The water off the golf course
Came up the railway track.
That’s another story
I‘ve told it all at length
But on that day the brothers came
To give our street some help.
This is William and Harry
Up the end our road.
I got to throw them sandbags
Spoke, shook William‘s hand.
They were two different brothers
Though they got on back then.
William quietly on his own
Harry with the men.
Harry with the soldiers
And loved to be with them.
A weight on William‘s shoulders
He‘ll be our future King.
Of course there was an entourage
For soon the press arrived
William was not happy
To see the press gang there.
The snaps are of them resting
But the brothers really worked.
Stood in line with soldiers.
Passed sandbags down the line.
Andrew Green's Poems 
Lovely story within a poem.A nugget of a fact,to grasp and treasure.Apparently in Spain,it was legions of young people who came out to help in their floods in Valencia….one young man risked his life to try to find his grandfather and make sure he was alright .

Not a great experience but not life threatening or on the scale seen in Valencia. The bravest thing we had to do was wade through knee high water with sandbags.

Still it’s a trauma which some never really get over. Round where I live there’s new builds going up everywhere and there isn’t the infrastructure for them.Building on flood plains is daft.Anyway have a good day Sir,I’m off to walk my dog!

To be fair Datchet’s literally across the river from Windsor Castle so sightings aren’t unusual though meetings always are.

That’s still very cool to see them from a distance! Meeting them must have been awesome!

I had to look them both up- though I’d vaguely heard of Steve Bannon. Not really into the soap opera.
