Empire Day at Elstree Studios

[serenamorgan]

As promised, here is my haul from Empire Day yesterday.  Unfortunately I didn't manage any IP from any Eastenders or The Voice people but still had a great day out.

It was amazing to be in Studio 7 at Elstree where so many scenes from the original trilogy were filmed and the guest talks were really good.  I would imagine for many of yesterdays guests this could well be their only ever convention/show appearance as they probably wouldn't have the draw for any of the bigger shows and with all due respect arn't getting any younger.

Glad you had a wonderful day out, and some awesome signed pictures. The multi-signed Hoth pic is a bit special now. More impressed that someone who has so many Star Wars autographs managed to find an event where he could add nine new signatures to his collection! That is a feat in itself. Congrats.

Amazing, Greg. That multi-signed photo is a beauty and you must be thrilled to get 9 more names to your collection. I like the ones who add an arrow to their sigs.
