Father in law went to the same Grammar School as Hitler, but 20 odd years later. He said the school was very proud of HH and had pictures of him in every room.

Bet they took 'em down pretty sharpish when it was all over.

Justin Rose went to one of my old schools, Robert Pattinson School in Odiham, although he was 3-4 years above me.

No-one famous, but having read this:

Wiki said:

... is based in the most deprived ward in Gosport, and in 2001 was classed as a failing school with only 19% getting five or more good GCSEs. This rose to 38% in 2004. The school was also identified by the Department for Education and Skills as being among 148 nationwide which were likely to have a "high number of persistent truants".
"... is one of the few UK schools with an on-site police officer".

it's entirely possible a few infamous people went there. Blimey.
