I'm unfortunately related to Cilla Black However, I take great pride in the story my mum told me of her slapping Cilla in a club (before she was famous), as Cilla tried to claim my mum's new coat as her own. My mum rocked

I'd hit it. :rolleyes:

A historical one for you here!
At the battle of Trafalgar, Nelson's number 2 ship was captained by a chap called Lord Collingwood. My great great...... Grandad was the Master Gunner on the ship. Maybe he ordered the first shot of the battle?

Back in the 1800s a later ancestor was Lord Mayor of Manchester for a period of time.

Cheers, PeterT.
