Did anybody go to the same school as someone who later became famous?
Here’s my three, a mixed bag.
Garry Bushell- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Bushell
Sir John Hayes- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Haye … politician
Colin Forman- loungtastic.com/Everlasting/aust … rame_b.htm
I went to the same school as Helen Sharman, she was the first woman to board the Mir space station.
The wife’s Grandmother missed an opportunity, she was Peter Stringfellows girlfriend at school 
DTM world champion, McClaren test driver and Formula E driver Gary Paffet was in my form at school. Nobody else of any notoriety went to my school
Danny Boyle — Movie Director
Jenny Ryan---- the vixen off The Chase
Badly Drawn Boy— pop singer apparently.
Carl Harris the motorcycle racer went to mine, but afterwards not before!

I attended (sadly) Karl’s funeral at Howden. He was a good mate of mine. Like you say RIP.

Based on his Wikipedia page I suspect he might still be. Suspect he wrote this himself.
“Julian David Cope is an English musician, author, antiquarian, musicologist, poet and cultural commentator.”
You can now say you went to school with a cultural commentator.

Bonnet de douche my son, Bonnet de douche!!!
Well found that man.
Eton?, yeah like they’d have a working class background bod like me, even if my parents could have afforded the uniform let alone the fees, sadly not clever enough for a scholarship.

Interesting researching this.
One current musician, 3 recent pro footballers and 2 cricketers. One each TV presenter (alive) and comedian (dead). Couple of MPs. Senior RAF officer.
Oh, and another MP, who was also a fraudster and cold war spy. No plaques on the wall to remember him when I was there.
