Cameron mourns his Aunt Cylla

-

DAVID Cameron is mourning his beloved Aunt Cecilia, who has died aged 87.

Known as Cylla, she was the sister of Cameron’s mother Mary and married to colourful baronet Sir William Dugdale, who was the chairman of Aston Villa in their glory days.

Cameron will, of course, attend the funeral in Warwickshi­re.

After Cylla’s husband died in 2014, Cameron ended questions abruptly after a major immigratio­n speech, explaining: ‘I’ve got to go to the funeral of a much-loved relative, a man who fought at Monte Cassino, landed on the beaches of Anzio, rode a horse in the Grand National and was chairman of the world’s greatest football club, Aston Villa.

‘So I don’t want to dishonour him by being late.’
