Are you kidding? You don't know who this person is?

I used to work for Group 4 (security), and we used to do Cheltenham Races. And of course, to get into the enclosure you had to have a pass and everything. And one of the guys was stood there and the Queen and that was approaching, and he actually stopped the Queen and asked her for a ticket to get into the enclosure!

And they went up to him and they says: ‘Are you kidding? You don't know who this person is?’

And he went: ‘I don't care. Nobody comes in here without a pass.’

And I thought to myself, if I'd have been there I’d say: ‘are you seriously talking like that to Her Majesty the Queen?’ But he wouldn’t let her in! Anyway, he got reprimanded, to say the least.
