Mark Knopfler, lead singer of the group Dire Straits, was among the guests along with filmmaker Guy Ritchie and Dragons' Den judge Deborah Meaden, a patron of Tusk Trust.

Not with that hair he ain't. Would rather have seen William greet him, seeing as his mum so loved good old marky

Post by: qjamesfloyd on April 26, 2012, 08:49:09 AM: Great pics, thanks. Kate looks really relaxed with Mark, and Mark looks like he is having a deep and meaningful conversation with William. Nice to see Kitty and Isabella too.

And of course there are the nutters with the scrapbooks and guitar pickguards he has to sign. LOL! I mean, if it had been an MK concert ... This is just hilarious.

Thank you knopfling! :) MK can't have gone to Cordoba with Guy then!

Well, if the news were published on 25th, it may be from the 24th, and Guy said they flew on 24th...

So, maybe it was just Guy, or maybe MK fle later ;D

I HOPE SO!

Oh, so, lets hope that MK went to Cordoba later! ;)

As Guy didnt say anything yet, the Vicente Amigo thing its just a guess, but if its true, I really hope MK is involved, it will be a dream for spanish fans that MK plays with a spanish artist.

I see your point, but I actually think I would do the same thing. If I got this one chance to say some words to Mark, and have him to sign my guitar, I would take it. He seems okey with it too... I suppose if you attend things like this, with the red carpet and everything, photographers and fans are a part of the package :)

Mark Knopfler, who has sold millions of albums with his group Dire Straits, met the royal couple briefly inside BFI Southbank along with other guests and the makers of the wildlife documentary.

The musician and composer said afterwards he would be staging a fundraising show at the Royal Albert Hall for William

and did i read that correctly, will he do a charity thing at the RAH??
i am in!
Title: Re: MK hobnobs with Will and Kate
Post by: xxFordiexx on April 27, 2012, 07:38:06 AM: Surely this would have been the perfect opportunity for Will to ask mark to perform at the Queen's jubilee? Well, considering Diana and Charles both liked DS. Also I notice no one has said how "beautiful" Deborah Meaden is in the pic too ;)

I guess it will be one of the charity gig from the now usual spring run at the RAH when touring in 2013.
