Ex-US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stunned guests at a British seaside chippy after she dropped in for dinner following a speech. The former first lady stayed for two hours at Colmans restaurant after delivering the annual South Shields Lecture with ex-local MP David Miliband on Friday (June 3).
Richard Colman Ord, 29, the owner of the chippy, said it was “surreal” to welcome the renowned politician to his 100-year-old seafront family-run shop. He said he knew that she would be coming to eat at the business, in South Shields, Tyne and Wear, but added it “wasn’t every day that Hillary Clinton pops into your restaurant”.
Richard said Mrs Clinton, flanked by several secret service agents, tucked into traditional £12.95 fish and chips, and later posed with staff and guests.
