His father, retired seaman Gordon Collins, said: "It's a gala breakfast in Southampton in the hotel where the original passengers embarked from for the Titanic. The breakfast has taken 12 months to plan, it's going to be a replica of the original."
Mr Collins senior said that his 45-year-old son knows the tycoon quite well.
Explaining his own presence he said: "He's a bit like Howard Hughes. He said it would be nice if they had a few older seamen there for authenticity. He said that his father was one of the first members of the Merchant Navy Association . He said that's great, tell him to get some friends I will give them a table for 10."
