Nottinghamshire councillor fist-pumps on learning grandfather news

A councillor said he was "gobsmacked" to be told he had become a grandfather during an online council meeting.

John Cottee could be seen fist-pumping when he heard the news during a meeting of Nottinghamshire County Council's communities and place committee, which he was chairing.

"It was a bit of a shock to me in the middle of the meeting, when I was trying to concentrate. It threw me out completely,” Mr Cottee told the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
