Eilidh Wise, food and beverage assistant and part-time tour guide, described Mrs Robinson as a "VIP".

As of Monday afternoon, general admission tickets for the canceled event were still being sold for $435 and VIP packages starting at $745.

More than £14.1m was recouped from ticket sales alone, with one VIP group package which included a ringside seat and photographs with the fighters costing as much as £1.6m.

Emails reportedly sent in advance of official visits, including to a VIP lunch, ask for "no bananas" to be allowed on certain premises and refer to Brandberg having a "strong allergy" to the fruit.

Gray was given VIP tickets to Aberdeen matches at Hampden three times, once in his current role and twice when he was wellbeing economy, fair work and energy secretary.
