The funeral of Maggie Ward, grandmother of 172, drew a crowd.
Although they have never all been together in one place before, every single one made sure they were at the ceremony to give the 87-year-old a good send-off.
In life, staunch Irish Catholic Mrs Ward and her husband Charles created one of Britain's largest families with 15 children of their own.
All 12 surviving children - Joan, Patrick, Martin, Margaret, Mary, Catherine, Charlie, Bernard, Bridget, Helen, Anne and Lawrence - were at her funeral yesterday.
The vast clan also includes 36 great grandchildren and 18 great-great grandchildren. [Link]
