An eagle-eyed motorist has spotted a senior Sky News journalist in the birthplace of Baroness Thatcher.

Boulton in a more typical setting

The Grantham Journal reports that political editor Adam Boulton was filming outside the home of the former PM in the town.

Journal reader Mark Wakerley reported he was sitting in traffic in North Street when he spotted the journalist waiting to cross the road with his cameraman and sound technician.

The three began filming outside the Margaret Thatcher's birthplace in North Parade.

Mr Wakerley told the paper: "I'm fairly certain it was him filming outside the former Roberts shop. Preparing for Sunday perhaps?"

The motorist snapped a blurred photo of the journalist.

Readers are told that Boulton has been a fixture on Sky News since 1999 (actually it was 1989)and he presents Sunday Live each week.

Other observant locals are invited to send in their own 'celebrity spots''

*Have you seen a celebrity roaming the streets of Grantham?" the paper asks.

"Maybe you bumped into Al Pacino at the railway station. Or were you behind Madonna in the supermarket queue?"

Boulton would be in hallowed company.
