Alex signs to appear in 'Holiday On The Buses'. In case you were wondering, he is the patient waiting to see the nurse.

I have been fortunate enough to gain access to a considerable amount of old photos/memorabilia belonging to Alex Munro. It's going to take a while to sort though, but I'll be posting bits and pieces on here on a regular basis. My thanks to Alex's daughter, Anna-Marie Munro (who is a lovely person), for allowing me access to this archive.

This photo shows (Left to right)- Stan Ryder; Lorraine Hulme; Marie Munro; Anna-Marie Munro; Alex Munro; Jackie Scott & Kathryn Ashworth at the Happy Valley Theatre.

Alex's daughter, the film star Janet Munro, pictured with Tommy Steele during the filming of 'Tommy The Toreador' in 1959. She sadly died in 1972 at the age of 38.

We know Alex Munro best for his shows at the Happy Valley Theatre, Pier Pavilion & Grand Theatre in Llandudno, but he also had a very successful career touring the UK as one half of the Horsburgh Brothers for over a decade back in the 1930s. Here is just one poster advertising the Brothers:
