Sir Bob Geldof was spotted arriving in Manchester to attend the One Young World Summit with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The singer, songwriter and political activist, who famously sang I Don't Like Mondays with The Boomtown Rats, looked on top form as he stepped off the train at Piccadilly.
Sir Bob, who founded Band Aid to raise money for famine relief and co-organised the benefit concert Live Aid in 1985, smiled for the cameras as he posed in a sandy coloured tassel-detailed jacket and white jeans. The 70-year-old, who was one of the original inspirations behind One Young World, attended the first summit in 2010.
Also arriving off the train from London was Love Island winner Davide Sanclimenti. The reality TV hunk appeared on ITV chat show This Morning earlier in the day alongside his love Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

Sir Bob, who was knighted in 1986 for his charity work and activism, is among the guests at the event held at The Bridgewater Hall. The summit brings together young leaders from more than 190 countries, connecting and promoting young leaders and giving them a global platform.
At the event the Duchess of Sussex, 41, is due to give a speech on gender equality. It is the Duke and Duchess' first public appearance in the UK since returning for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June from their home in California.
Meghan is a counsellor for the organisation, alongside Justin Trudeau, Sir Richard Branson, and Jamie Oliver. The summit comes just days after Meghan’s wide-ranging interview with The Cut magazine in which she said it takes 'a lot of effort' to forgive and hinted that she can 'say anything'.
After visiting Manchester, the pair will travel to Germany for the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 One Year To Go event which is taking place on Tuesday. They will then return to the UK for the WellChild Awards in London where Harry will deliver a speech on Thursday.
