Absolutely packed before, hope everyone got to the legend eventually. They didn't expect that turnout.

There was a chap of about 60 acting like a kid at Christmas, it moved the mrs to tears.
 
(I did write a longer, more emotional reply to this, but IE crashed...)

We got our books signed at 3:15pm (he should have been at the Trafford Centre at 3pm), and he was as polite, considerate and chatty to us as if we were the first people in the queue. He was fantastic. I thanked him for waiting for us, and he stopped signing and said "oh no, I wouldn't have gone, if people were here, I will always stay".

Humbling to meet him, again.

It says a lot that people queued for so long to meet him (Especially Ticket for Shalke who was about the pass out after queing so long) 50 years after he stopped playing.

A special human being, and we're honoured to be able to still be in his presence.
