My direct ancestor - great, great, great grandfather, or something - was
Benjamin Hall after whom
Big Ben is named. Today is its one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary. Hurrah!

(He would have despaired at the thought of the Big Brother camera. And, by the way, the name Big Ben applies to the
bell, not the tower.)
