My daughter was born on the night of the 16 th Oct 1987 at St James hospital Leeds, it was a very windy night but not exceptional in Leeds, but I did listen to all the news reports coming in . I mentioned Michael Fish in my father of the bride speech on 10 th September 2017, By chance at the Grande hotel Brighton . Along the coast where some of the highest gusts were measured.
The wedding was exciting also as we had to evacuate the hotel due to a bomb threat, and continue next door in the Hilton. Didn’t help that the TUC conference was on next door.
Happy days.
