The woman who really brought Oasis back together at a posh spa day with Liam, revealed by SARAH RAINEY
Hanging in the front room of Peggy Gallagher's three-bed semi in Burnage, south Manchester, is a black and white photograph of three young boys with their mother.

And there are few in the brothers’ orbit more down-to-earth than Peggy Gallagher, nee Sweeney, whose hometown of Charlestown, County Mayo, was in raptures this week as locals shared her joy that her boys were back together.
