Mark made a lot of small boys and not so small boys very happy. He signed lots of autographs and we all hope to see him reach number 1 this year!

What a nice fella, so approachable. How nice it was to see a sporting icon behaving so respectably, some of our footballers could learn from Mr Webber.

A great day was had by everyone. Thanks Mark for your time in what is a busy period for you.

Mark I’m so sorry you announced your retirement in 2012 – the Formula One Circus won’t be the same without you! :( (

Just a small note to say by the comments above, giving joy to others is what you when not doing a hard job such as F1 driving.
Goodluck this weekend and by the way Happy Birthday for tomorrow 27/8

Does anybody know any of the photographers who were there. My girlfriend got a photo only with a very low-res phone camera (as I forgot the digital camera). She is a huge Webber fan and is quite upset about it so any help would be appreciated. :(

Un saludo para manifestarte que en Colombia despues de JP Montoya, tenemos nuevo motivo para seguir la F1 por “Mark”, you must be the winner 2.010

Hope the start is good with those 150kgs on board heading into Eau Rouge, and take the lead to win.

I think Mark participating the fund raising campaign for injured driver Chris van der Driftin is a very decent and emphathic thing to do. All my respect to Mark

For Matthew, My other half took lots of photos at the fete in Mentmore (although not many of Mark
after the opening ceremony). If you want to see some go to the official Mentmore Parish Council web site at http://www.bucksinfo.net/mentmorepc. Photos can be purchased with money going to the charities supported by the fete. Hope this helps!
Good luck to Mark at Monza this weekend.
