I think another picture from this same event was already posted to this thread, but one with fewer famous people in it, plus it's now colourised. I suppose seeing 70s BBC light entertainment people together isn't that much of a surprise, but that's a lot of them in one place (plus Russell Harty who I think was still at ITV at that point) (plus Harold and Mary Wilson)

of the celebs, still alive are - Graham Garden, Ian Lavender, Bill Oddie, Tom Baker, Valerie Singleton and I think that's it? (also it's jarring tot remember that both Vera Lynn and Mary Wilson were both still alive until the last few years)

Raquel Welch attended Chelsea's match against Leicester City in 1972. The actress was chaperoned by former player and TV star Jimmy Hill. After the match a young fan insisted on getting Welch's autograph, but she refused and Hill stepped in.

gotta say, my man Bill Oddie looks pretty good in that Downing St pic.
