Ian Hendry + Janet Munro – Engagement Party, Wedding Pictures + News Reel Film Footage [1963]
Picture above: Ian Hendry and Janet Munro on their wedding day. Arriving by boat to their new home, named ‘Sphinx’, on Pharaohs Island, River Thames, London.
Every so now and then some interesting memorabilia surfaces, giving us some further insight into the life of Ian Hendry. I’ve recently come into possession of a small batch of photographs and press articles from the 1960s and 70s, which I will share on the website. The photographs below, show Ian Hendry and Janet Munro at their engagement party held at Claridges Hotel, Mayfair, London, on February 13th 1963. And then, further down, two photographs taken by the press at their reception and as they arrived at their new home named ‘Sphinx, located on Pharaohs Island on the Thames. I suspect that that particular picture may have been ‘staged’!
An article featuring Janet Munro in which she discusses the wedding, can be seen in the article below. It tells the story of how the two met, the romance and events that followed as well as the wedding held at the Presbyterian Church at Bayswater, London on 16th February 1963.
