What a fool! I could comment in the style of 'court jester', but someone certainly did pick a nincompoop.
He was sent an invitation (nice honour) and a booklet with a single line suggesting"...dress is smart, suits/jacket and tie, etc. Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them." (same goes for men, if you have a smidgen of intelligence).
So this "style setter" missed the opportunity by dressing how? A flower shirt, straw hat, suede shoes - he was obviously under pressure, turning up an hour late with his granddad's glasses and NO SOCKS.
All he needed was a man bag and he could have been mistaken for your up-market, street-corner drug tout.
Anyway, I do hope he turns up for the Hungarian Grand Prix with his fire-proof underwear, gloves, helmet AND SOCKS without suede shoes - and on time!
He's fine, nice bloke, much respected, hope he wins the F1 BUT ... he was a bit of an idiot in this instance to post a photo on Instagram of his "Guide For Royal Box Guests", then turn up having clearly not read it. Given his lifestyle, if you can't have a bit of fun at his expense because of this then the world is a sad place ...
Many years ago I had free access to the Pavillion at Lord’s and went to many Test matches and One Day Internationals (as well as many county matches). I was there on one occasion (Test Match, I think) when trying to gain entry at the same time as me was one Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Archbishop of Capetown. This was in the Eighties when the South African story was at its height (though I believe it was before his name became the slang for a lower second class university degree - a 2:2 for those who wonder what I’m talking about). The Archbishop was in his ecclesiastical attire, complete with “dog collar”.
Step forward the steward who fiercely controlled entry to the hallowed chamber.
“Sorry sir, you can’t come in here”.
“Why ever not. I’m the personal guest of Colin Cowdrey, the President of the MCC. He’s waiting for me inside.”
“Sorry sir, you’re not wearing a tie”
“But I don’t wear a tie. I’m Archbishop Desmond Tutu.”
“I don’t care if you’re the Archbishop of Canterbury. Nobody comes in here if they’re not wearing a tie.”
I stepped round the argument, showing my pass, but on my way in saw one of the senior MCC bods, walkie-talkie in hand, striding purposefully towards the door. A few minutes later I saw the Archbishop join some of his fellow guests in the hospitality area!
Thought I’d share that with you.

my sis knows Lewis personally and according to her he is a very nice lad..the relationship with Nicole was always very fragile ..he just did not want to commit...perhaps he is just experiencing a bit of new found freedom..don't think there is a bad bone in his body...not according to sis..his father is very nice too I am told...the family does not encourage him to splash the cash on gifts to them either...once he bought very expensive jewellery for mum and my sis had to source gift boxes from cheap costume jewellery shops to disguise their worth !
