What's new? He and his goliath image and her the femme-fatale - Samson and Delilah..

This fundraiser was to mark the 1000th day since Madeleine's ~~abduction~~ disappearance and to put some much needed cash into the limited company's coffers with half of the proceeds going to the McCanns and the remaining half being split between Missing People and an EU equivalent charity. The McCann's fund is not a charity but a limited company, nevertheless there was, how shall I say, something symbiotic.

This is David Steel, the man who failed to have Cyril Smith investigated and was instrumental in getting him a knighthood. Would I want to stand next to him if my child had been 'taken by a paedophile'? It's obviously a rhetorical question.

The Kensington Gardens bash involved an auction. Stobo Castle also did a fundraiser with an auction.

I remember the Richard Branson's exclusive Kensington Roof Gardens funtion and what a memorable ~~damp squib~~ occasion that was - a star-studded bash (so sayeth the UK tabloids) that managed to rustle-up such names as Gloria Hunniford, Fiona Bruce, Peter Bowles and the WOW factor - none other than Lord David Steel. Just look at proud Gerald standing before the camera, again looking like a David Walliams tribute act..

Gerry McCann, Martin Houghton-Brown, Chief Executive Missing People, Kate McCann and Francis Herbert, Secretary General, Missing Children Europe at a Madeleine McCann fundraiser....

I think that was about the extent of the press coverage. It must have been a total non-event, otherwise it would have been the talking point of the year.
Are those coins thrown at their feet, or gobs of chewing gum?

and they're off Scottish Grand National today.

Will the couple be present as guests of Me Lords and Ladies?

My hot tip - Rocky rides again - bookies have stopped taking bets as there can be no doubt who the winner will be despite so many hurdles.

Victoria Beckham has now got an OBE so maybe she'll rub shoulders with her this year and take a sneaky sideways glance to see if she really is this 'suspect, or whether they'll just be invited to dinner:

Tannerman has been declared a non-runner.
Bungling Burglar looks likely to be withdrawn too.
Operation Grange will run in blinkers.
The odds have narrowed on Window Of Opportunity.
Forensic Evidence has reportedly been nobbled.
Media Master's rider C. Mitchell, has been jocked off but is valiantly attempting to get back in the saddle.

Flying curtains , wooshed out at the first fence .

Gone to the dogs , withdrawal due to unreliable in hot weather .

No stone unturned finished last due to his rider said , running on empty .

48 questions , clearly unsettled , unseated his lady jockey who was swiftly removed from the course .

Bookies are expecting a big payout due to heavy betting from abroad !

Just pulled up the Madeleine Cup for this year which was run on 17th June 2017. Two races this year, Div 1 & Div 2.

Interesting to see that 'Verdi' traipsed in 5th in Div 2!
