Let's follow the story...
Tony Blair on black shirtsKOTA KINABALU: Despite being discreet, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie could not escape attention when they attended a church service here.
Dressed casually, both had shown up at the Sacred Heart Cathedral yesterday to attend the 9am service presided by Archbishop Datuk John Lee.
The Blairs are on a 10-day private visit to Sabah.
Many were initially unaware of the presence of the Blairs, but when they did, they took the opportunity to take pictures with the couple.
Not a private trip anymore: Blair (right) leaving the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Kota Kinabalu where he and his wife Cherie attended Sunday service.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk V.K. Liew said he was sitting in the pew just in front of the Blairs.
“I saw this lady sitting behind on my left and she looked familiar, but I just could not place her,” he said.
Liew said his wife Datin Dr Lindai also noticed a familiar male face sitted next to the lady, but could not be certain if it was Blair because he had dressed casually.
It was when the Blairs were walking away after service that he was certain it was them.
Liew said the Blairs obliged when some churchgoers requested to take pictures with them.
