Heaven knows what Morrissey was doing in Harrogate...
Former Smiths frontman turned solo artist Morrissey was spotted out in Harrogate last night.
The singer-songwriter enjoyed a couple of pints in the Harrogate Arms pub and was happy to pose for photos with a handful of fellow drinkers who recognised him.
Chris Russell, who runs Zombie Clothing in Knaresborough, happened to be in the pub at the time and was surprised to see someone so famous.
He said:
"I was just having a beer and he was gracious enough to pose for a pic."
The visit was also a surprise to staff at the pub. Manager Pete Murphy said:
"We only had four or five tables in, so it wasn't busy, but a few people recognised him and had photos with him.
"We get the odd Leeds player in, but that's the first singer I've seen. I've been running the pub just over a year now."
