I MANAGED to say a quick hello to the Glasgow’s own Lulu before her gig at Kelvingrove bandstand.

My wee daddy Ben Lyons, who is no longer with us, produced her first radio broadcast on the BBC after discovering her singing at a party in town so we’ve got some lovely memories.

Lulu always looks younger every time I see her. 

She loves to wear a baseball cap off stage and she’s the only 69-year-old I can’t think of who suits it. 

She reminded everyone at her Scots gig of her age when she told them she used to get a tram car from Denniston to Kelvingrove bandstand as a wee girl for one penny in the old days.
