By Richard Eden 13 March 2011 • 6:24am While Tony Blair and Gordon Brown should feel ashamed of courting Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, one former prime minister is proud of standing up to the Libyan dictator. At a reception for the Young Britons' Foundation at the House of Commons, Conor Burns, the Conservative MP, disclosed that he had been with Baroness Thatcher as television pictures were broadcast of the uprising in Libya. When library images of Blair embracing Gaddafi were shown, Lady Thatcher declared, passionately: "I never hugged him, I bombed him." Wedding honour Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John are among those who have been suggested as potential performers at Prince William's wedding reception. The only confirmed musician for the ceremony is, however, a rather less familiar name. James McVinnie, 28, the assistant organist at Westminster Abbey, will play for an hour as the guests find their seats. "It's an extraordinary honour," he says. "I'm very excited. Of course, there is a lot of pressure and one does get nervous, but we will be so well rehearsed, hopefully there won't be a lot of opportunity for things to go wrong." The cheeky monkey adds: "Sadly, my invitation for the reception afterwards seems to have been lost in the post."
