MPX5064708: Cilla Black and her husband Bobby Willis stayed at the Brooklands Hotel, Holyhead Road, Coventry when she was appearing in "Cilla's Spring Show". They paid 55 shillings a night. Some potted palms have been brought in and champagne is laid on at midnight. Breakfast is served at any time which is just as well because it was nearly 11am before Cilla emerged, sleepy-eyed but talkative, from the newly-created "bridal suite" which was once P.J. Proby's room before he went bankrupt and had to leave England. Cilla's feeling a bit bothered because yesterday was Frankie Howerd's birthday and she forgot to send him a card. Bobby's bothered because the Rolls, which he drives himself, looks a mess. They had thought of staying at the Leofric but it's fully booked up until the 20th. / Bridgeman Images
