PHILIPPA Randels had met Sir Terry Wogan twice before but that didn’t stop her being at the front of the queue for a third meeting in Abingdon.
Sir Terry visited the town to sign copies of his new book, The Little Book of Common Sense, on Saturday at The Bookstore, where people had been queueing for more than an hour to meet him.
Ms Randels, who suffers from arthritis, had previously met the BBC star in 1986, when he handed her an award, and in 2009 when he last visited Abingdon.
She said: “He’s lovely and I used to listen to his radio show on the way to work.”
Sir Terry, 76, presented the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show from 1972 to 1984 and again from 1993 to 2009.
He currently presents Weekend Wogan on Radio 2 on Sundays and regularly appears on Children in Need. He was knighted in 2005.
