  It was such a wonderful experience and a vibrant atmosphere with so many interesting, people all in one place. I’m yet to spot myself walking through the parade of shops and stopping to inquire about the price of an umbrella. A fun filled day indeed.

  I really enjoyed my time in court - not something most people can say! I got to meet some lovely and interesting people and it was fascinating to watch everything coming together. I went to see it and it's a truly lovely film - funny and kind. My kids spotted me in the scene and I've definitely been awarded 'cool Mum' points

  I had great fun at the steam fair despite the cold. I was lucky enough to be in the ticket booth (so slightly warmer) and the hot blackcurrant supplied by production was great!

  I was one of the nuns standing next to Hugh Grant and my scene even made the trailer! It was a great shoot and lots of fun.

  I was one of nuns at St Paul's on a long day with four scenes to film. It was great fun - just like being back at school with such a large and diverse group!

  I was in the crowd scene at the steam fair. My first such experience and hugely enjoyable for the people I met, the great way all the staff looked after us and the smoothness of UE's operation. I can't wait for another chance!

  The food in the prison 5-star restaurant was wonderful, both the porridge with nice crunchy sand in it and the marmalade sandwiches. I loved my pink prison suit! Good company, lovely ADs and great fun.
