I can honestly say I would've had a heart attack the second I realized who it was. I would've dropped dead on the spot if Simon LeBon came anywhere near me at age!
Wow! Very cool to see Simon as a Knight! Very lucky girl! How many Duranie fans would want to ride on that horse with Simon? (all of them) Great fun! Wish I lived in England at that time! :)
That is the best surprise ever! What a great guy Simon was back then at the height of his fame (I'm sure he's just as nice now.) I can't imagine someone of equivalent fame today doing that...
Simon being the thespian he is, was born for this role! LOL! Not to mention, if that was him riding the horse, he did a pretty darn good job. And yes, I would’ve absolutely died if that had been me. 😁
Simply wonderful great idea. Simon's got a great sense of humour love Duran Duran just wondering how much it cost. I would have fainted as I'm a huge fan of their work and there still going in 2020 celebrating 40plus years brilliant.
I would have passed out, screamed or been completely dumbfounded if John Taylor showed up at my school.. but don’t think John couldn’t have handled that horse never mind picked a girl up and carried her outside lol! 😂
They have always been friendly with fans. Back in 1990 Simon actually got in the passengers side of my car at Roy Rodgers in the Woodbridge NJ travel plaza and leaned across the seat and drew a mural of a "mermaid with big knockers". Then a friend came walking up with John Taylor who also got in the passengers seat after asking me to hold his cup of coffee and autographed my dashboard. Was like a dream.
I think it has to do with the times. In the 80s, you had to write a real letter to the band and were lucky to get a response. This gal was very lucky. Nowadays, people would pay thousands of dollars for him to do that.
Right!! "Look some fool's on a horse. " Fool keeps talking as chick leads him, and the moment he takes his face covering off I would've been screaming like a crazy bitch, he wouldn't be picking me up, I'd be throwing my ass at him, yelling for him to hurry up n Ride this horse, screaming directions to my bedroom! Lol
this is my ultimate dream in life!! loved simon & DD since I was 13 & here I am at 47 still thinking this would have been the all time coolest moment in me life ☆♡☆♡☆
ThePoisoned Goth your kidding I remember when is there something I should know, went straight to no one in U.K., we went wild, little work done that afternoon.
I was an English teacher in the 1980s. I would have been thrilled if Simon or any of Duran Duran had done that for me. Of course, living in the US, it never would've happened.
How in the world did this girl remain so calm?! It would’ve blown my mind to have one of Duran Duran come for me dressed as a knight and get whisked away!! 🤯
I became pen pals with the two girls (Sarah and Katie) after their appearance on Jim'll Fix It. Duran were no longer their favourite artists and more fans of Paul Young. I was absolutely gutted, as I'd never have stopped being a fan if I'd met Simon and Co then.
If you look closely she was kinda nervously giggling. Now if that was me at that time, they would have to revive me because I would've fainted straight away!
Her response is kind of odd. She looks embarrassed. Maybe a little shy. At that age (I was 13 when I first heard Duran Duran in America), I would not have been able to contain my excitement about seeing Simon Le Bon in person. Simon dressed as a knight is even better! :)
@@kgallagher8698 YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! Very discusting, stupid emotion.. waste of time while filming this and (analog) rolls of negative film. 😭🤣😭🤣
I like how she doesn't put her hand up immediately after he says her name. Its only when he asks a second time. To be fair, it must have been kind of frightening having some large man dressed as knight, sword out, busting through the door demanding her to show herself, added to the fact she couldn't see his face and didn't know who he was.
I notice references to what show this was on have been removed. Great viewing but I am so glad Jim never fixed it for me to have any of my wishes come true!
Been searching for this clip for ages. I assumed it was pulled because it was on Jim’s fix it.I remember us all taking about it the next day at school we were about the same age as that girl. Guessing 1979?
drayton secondary school in Banbury, oxfordshire, I was there at school that day, it was snowing and i remember they struggled to get the car out the grounds with so many kids in the way. girls cooing and boys throwing snow balls at the car.
Okay now if I was 12 years old I probably would have passed out... I've been a fan of Duran Duran for about 40 years so Simon feel free to pick me up anytime!! WAXX TRAXX TO THE MAXX on wusb FM NY. When you're not kidnapping people on horseback I would love to talk to you for my radio show
How dare you call English people cold? They are the hottest nation in Europe, full of culture and passionate for life. Everyone in Europe is jealous of them.
Not really she looks like she's shy or in shock. When you're a teenager you can be like that, also this was in the early 1980s. If you did something similar today the children would have gone wild
@@colleenh7989 sounds like your the one totally devoid of personality. The poor girl is just a typical shy teenager, experiencing a total and unexpected surprise. Every one reacts differently not all teenage girls are going be to off their heads screaming! I think she handled it well and acted very maturely.
I can honestly say I would've had a heart attack the second I realized who it was. I would've dropped dead on the spot if Simon LeBon came anywhere near me at age!
IF SIMON LEBON CAME TO MY HOUSE ON MY BIRTHDAY AT DUELL ROAD I'D KISS HIM ON HIS LIPS💋💋💋💋
I would definitely have died instantly. It would be too late for the defibrillator.
They had to say that her dream was going to happen. Too exciting otherwise.
Wow! Very cool to see Simon as a Knight! Very lucky girl! How many Duranie fans would want to ride on that horse with Simon? (all of them) Great fun! Wish I lived in England at that time! :)
So gorgeous! I love Simon!
That is the best surprise ever! What a great guy Simon was back then at the height of his fame (I'm sure he's just as nice now.) I can't imagine someone of equivalent fame today doing that...
Harry Styles perhaps?
How is she so calm? omg! I would have screamed at least!
That's all? I would have leaped on him myself and given him multiple hickeys....😋💋💋😆
She's in shock
Ikr
I would have thrown up, had a myocardial infarction and died....happy....very, very happy.
Simon being the thespian he is, was born for this role! LOL! Not to mention, if that was him riding the horse, he did a pretty darn good job. And yes, I would’ve absolutely died if that had been me. 😁
A hot British man riding on a horse...um hell yes.
Simply wonderful great idea. Simon's got a great sense of humour love Duran Duran just wondering how much it cost. I would have fainted as I'm a huge fan of their work and there still going in 2020 celebrating 40plus years brilliant.
Why didn't I have a friend do this for me in the 80s?! I would've been in shock too 🙃💚
I would have died seeing John Taylor as a knight 😂😂😂
I would have passed out, screamed or been completely dumbfounded if John Taylor showed up at my school.. but don’t think John couldn’t have handled that horse never mind picked a girl up and carried her outside lol! 😂
JT gives good hugs, I know from experience.
@@itsarubiks when he can be bothered .i have known him to be rude to some fans sadly
Andy the best from Duran , then Roger
@@KittyCatFurbabiesMaria1972 I have met him 5 or 6 times, he has been nothing but kind to me. Simon on the other hand can be moody, but I get it
He Is very nice and gentle to do this thing......I always thinked he was an Amazing boy
That is soooo cool 😎 Simon LeBon as Knight riding a Horse 🐎 way back in the Days. How cool is That, My favorite band Duran Duran 💃❤️💃❤️💃❤️💃❤️🌸❤️🌸❤️
I would have fainted! OMG is all I can say! Lucky girl, she looked like she was in utter shock! :)
No, she looked like.. Ok Whatever.
She looked like little girl being picked up by grown man. In my school.
I would have melted into the ground faster than the witch in the Wizard of Oz.
What a sweet , sweet thing to do. I would have an EFFIN heart attack. Lol I adore Simon❤. I bet she still remembers that with great fondness .
They have always been friendly with fans. Back in 1990 Simon actually got in the passengers side of my car at Roy Rodgers in the Woodbridge NJ travel plaza and leaned across the seat and drew a mural of a "mermaid with

My friends refuse to buy me a chocolate bar let alone arrange for Simon Le Bon to carry me away on a white horse 😂
Yea, I wonder where the heck he went with that girl ?????
I think it has to do with the times. In the 80s, you had to write a real letter to the band and were lucky to get a response. This gal was very lucky. Nowadays, people would pay thousands of dollars for him to do that.
I know same here! 🤣🤣
I'm just as popular. It's like pulling teeth to get them to celebrate my birthday with me let alone bring me my favorite frontman ever.
First time iv actually seen this thanks Simon's so young and gorgeous i thought he was the most gorgeous man on earth im still afan in 2019'+
Fantastico! Simon è unico ed originale!
Poor Simon! What a trouper.
SWEATY Simon as a knight. I mean, really, what more could a girl ask?
Trooper
Awesome! Duranie Forever
Que sorpresa para todos ellos y Simon un capo!
I would have been screaming!
Right!! "Look some fool's on a horse. " Fool keeps talking as chick leads him, and the moment he takes his face covering off I would've been screaming like a crazy bitch, he wouldn't be picking me up, I'd be throwing my ass at him, yelling for him to hurry up n Ride this horse, screaming directions to my bedroom! Lol
Simon would have stabbed you with that sword and carried you off like a kabob. ;)
i wonder if she's ever looked back on youtube to see this,lol..so cool
This was just posted, but hopefully she'll see it sooner or later.
I bet Simon wiped this from his memory
Simón Le Bon es precioso, hermoso, sexi y belloooooo,, y muyyyyy dulce eeeeee 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 Sobre todo muy sencillo oooo 💖😘😘😘😘😘😘
This is why I love Simon Le Bon.... Sigh... I remember watching this on Jim'll Fix It and being sooo jealous!!!!!!
Mogznwaz same here! Some gals have all the luck! 😒
Is that video also here in You Tube ? Lol!
So sweet!
How is she so calm?? I would've started screaming, crying and fainted on the spot🤣 Such a lucky girl
wow, never seen this one before. That's funny and BAD ASS!
this is my ultimate dream in life!! loved simon & DD since I was 13 & here I am at 47 still thinking this would have been the all time coolest moment in me life ☆♡☆♡☆
Right there with you!
I remember that day well being one of the kids at the door on the way out ;)
Simon is a trip God bless Yasmin! Lol!
I would have DIED! I fell in love with Simon at 13...I would simply have died...
Actually, she was a middle school girl. Kind of a difference. Love this video just the same; it was soo Sweet!
I remember this very well on Jim LL Fix It same year I got expelled from a convent school for reading out stories about Simon lebon
What could possess them to expel you for reading stories about Simon.....wonderful Simon.
ThePoisoned Goth your kidding I remember when is there something I should know, went straight to no one in U.K., we went wild, little work done that afternoon.
Katie, you lucky,lucky girl!
Lucky girl...
I was an English teacher in the 1980s. I would have been thrilled if Simon or any of Duran Duran had done that for me. Of course, living in the US, it never would've happened.
NOT FAIR! Lol!! She is so lucky😍🥰❤
How in the world did this girl remain so calm?! It would’ve blown my mind to have one of Duran Duran come for me dressed as a knight and get whisked away!! 🤯
My heart would have stopped instantly. Life wasn't going to get better after that.
@@sunnybearbuds Absolutely!
lucky GIRL!!!
He says God when he gets off horse must've been friggin cold 😂
credo che simon sia tanto simpatico oltre a essere un cantante straordinario w i duran duran hallo
OMG thank you for posting this! Too cute.
There are only two words that come to mind when watching this: HOLY CRAP!!!😳😍😵😭🥰❤
I would have cried and fainted.
Yes, cried, fainted, puked, stopped breathing, screamed, peed; basically I would have ruined the whole thing.
I became pen pals with the two girls (Sarah and Katie) after their appearance on Jim'll Fix It. Duran were no longer their favourite artists and more fans of Paul Young. I was absolutely gutted, as I'd never have stopped being a fan if I'd met Simon and Co then.
They both sucked.
How was the whole thing set up back then? Do you know? I have always been curious since I first saw this video many years ago.
Simon "Freakin" LeBon
amare a simon para siempre
This would have been a dream come true. Her friend didn't seem to care. Me? Crying and having a fan girl moment.
i would’ve SCREAMED
"Lucky lass!" Is all I can say 😉👍😱💙
SWOOOOOON
How I wish......:)
If you look closely she was kinda nervously giggling. Now if that was me at that time, they would have to revive me because I would've fainted straight away!
that was so sweet!
When I was a teenager, I would've peed myself....lol
This is cool. I've never seen this.
You would do it today too if this happened
That was funny.
Looks more like high school rather than college though.
It was my old secondary school - Drayton School in Banbury, Oxfordshire. Students were aged 11/12 to 16/17.
I wonder if Simon LeBon took riding lessons in regards to surprising a 🏫 👧🏻.
wowza!
Hahaha .. clueless Katie . 😊🤓
Simon ,unreal lad!
Que sonho!!! A dream!!!
This was awesome!!! Simon was my favorite until he got married (the funny things you feel as a teenager), so I would've been dumbfounded.
Hate when sone fan gets a surprise by apparently their favorite artist/singer. And they’re just like Whatever.
Her response is kind of odd. She looks embarrassed. Maybe a little shy. At that age (I was 13 when I first heard Duran Duran in America), I would not have been able to contain my excitement about seeing Simon Le Bon in person. Simon dressed as a knight is even better! :)
The WORST REACTION EVER. WASTED on the wrong girl.
@@kgallagher8698 YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! Very discusting, stupid emotion.. waste of time while filming this and (analog) rolls of negative film. 😭🤣😭🤣
@@kgallagher8698 By all accounts Katie and her friend didn't remain DD fans, they preferred Paul Young.
So a little wasted yes.
i like John more but in this footage simon looks freaking gorgeous!
I like how she doesn't put her hand up immediately after he says her name. Its only when he asks a second time. To be fair, it must have been kind of frightening having some large man dressed as knight, sword out, busting through the door demanding her to show herself, added to the fact she couldn't see his face and didn't know who he was.
How could they keep this a secret?
From the looks of it, she looked like she thought she was in trouble! I think she was also embarrassed. Not me! I love knights! :)
Seriously?? If this would have happened when I was 12-13, I would have absolutely lost my mind.
I was 13 when I fell in love with Simon...if this would have happened, I wouldn't have turned 14. I'd have simply died.
how is so so calm. I be like OMGGGGGGGGGGG
Aww that is so sweet!
I wish I was her.
Nice.............................
I notice references to what show this was on have been removed. Great viewing but I am so glad Jim never fixed it for me to have any of my wishes come true!
True, but if you type "Jim'll fix it Simon Le Bon" you'll still unearth this video clip!
**CRIES FOREVER**
Been searching for this clip for ages. I assumed it was pulled because it was on Jim’s fix it.I remember us all taking about it the next day at school we were about the same age as that girl. Guessing 1979?
probablу 1982, because of "Hungrу Like"...
Great sport simon
Cheer up love..
A decent fellow
I was so jealous and dreamed about it being me for weeks 😭
First clue: What is a camera crew doing here this morning?
Aí que lindo...e eu queria tanto mais que pena hoje todos estamos mais velhos rsrsrs
I was not expecting such cool red boots on the otherwise shy and unassuming Katie Parker 😂
Simon I just saw what the guys got you for your 50th birthday. Just wondered do you still have the LPs do you still listen to them.?
Great footage, where exactly was this ?
drayton secondary school in Banbury, oxfordshire, I was there at school that day, it was snowing and i remember they struggled to get the car out the grounds with so many kids in the way. girls cooing and boys throwing snow balls at the car.
Remember this. Couldn't believe her luck lol
Okay now if I was 12 years old I probably would have passed out... I've been a fan of Duran Duran for about 40 years so Simon feel free to pick me up anytime!! WAXX TRAXX TO THE MAXX on wusb FM NY.
When you're not kidnapping people on horseback I would love to talk to you for my radio show
love the video......wonder if was part of a tv show----
+mjaliveinmusic it was on 'Jim'll fix it' in the UK in the '80s. Unfortunatly 'Jim' turned out to be a very bad man....
thanks for the data.- love duran duran
I would have died. Seriously. Dead. Omg.
Eu queria ter sido essa menina, realmente. 😮😮
I believe, it's 1982, but the month? is this after the release of "Hungrу" in spring?
Then what happened?
Save The medieval Knights . Save Knight Simon lê Bon.
I remember this. The hairspray industry did incredibly well in the 1980s!!
smhorse - I was certainly a customer.
@@ghostcar I was voted biggest hair in high school. Lol! True story...
Jim'll Fix it omg how many times I wrote to meet John Taylor like that😢😢😢😢
😱😱😱
What year what this ??
Judging by SLB's hair and the weather, late '84.
so, what happen with that girl then?
She didn't seem to enjoy it! lol English people are so damn cold! hahaha
She seemed completely devoid of personality. You would think she could have shown some sort of reaction just out of politeness but I guess not!
How dare you call English people cold? They are the hottest nation in Europe, full of culture and passionate for life. Everyone in Europe is jealous of them.

@@coranford7463 You must have skipped your daily laxative. Lighten up fan boy.
Simon sounds so much like Gordon Ramsey! 😄😄…. this was the 80s, kids - people did stuff like this back then.
sound or not looks funny!
Xke non anke all Elsa morante di garbagnate? Sarebbe stato un devasto! Ke figata! 💖
Omg the sour face. Girl you just had a once in a lifetime experience with theeee Simon LeBon and you just looked so horrified.
