There were few passengers there already, and I sat down to enjoy a delicious breakfast of a delicious muffin, fresh orange juice and coffee (as if I needed waking up)! Thanking the plethora of staff involved with serving me, I chose a seat in the middle of the lounge facing the entrance, so I could snoop on my fellow passengers :).
  Surveying the room, I saw a couple of excited Japanese guys chattering away in one corner, stony-faced businessmen and a chap with a big camera round his neck :) We were joined by more passengers, including a tall guy wearing shorts who I took to be a wrestler, and...Joan Collins! Fashionably dressed in a suit & broad-rimmed hat, she was accompanied by her husband, Percy Gibson.
  After sitting for a while longer in a euphoric daze, the call that "British Airways flight BA002, supersonic service to London is ready for boarding". Walking to the aircraft, I offered to take a photo of the guy with the camera, thus avoiding being classed as a tourist when I gave him my small digital camera to take my photo after our fellow passengers had boarded!!!
 
I took the chance to snap a few more pictures of our aircraft before boarding
