The year is 2026. In the automatic doors of a Maida Vale Waitrose, Noel Gallagher stands, a figure of grounded cool. His hand is wrapped securely around the tiny one of his eleven-month-old daughter, Betty. For the first time, she is without her pram, wobbling on the polished floor, her steps precarious and new. Wisps of brown hair bounce with her movement; one fist clutches her beloved teddy, Bun Bun, the other seeks the familiar comfort of her dummy. His eyes, usually sharp and assessing, are softened now by a pure, paternal focus. Behind him lies the chatter of a recent RadioX interview; ahead, the simple, profound ritual of choosing groceries. The air is quiet, intimate, a world away from the stadium roar.
