We send our Deepest Sympathies to the Royal Family on the very sad news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Thank you for your Loyal Service to our Country.

Dear Members and Friends,

It is with great sadness that I have to inform you all that Mrs Mary Lee Milroy, Hon Vice President of the Scottish Music Hall & Variety Theatre Society has passed away.

Mary was such a great supporter of our Society with her husband, the late great Jack Milroy. Mary was a legend in Scottish show business, a true professional, and a woman who was greatly admired by many. Mary had a fantastic ability as a singer and an exceptional comedic talent, blessed with a quick ability to “throw a gag” into conversation with ease.

Mary was a unique Lady with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and was so willing to share that with anyone. Mary will always be remembered with great love and fondness.

We send our Love and Deepest Sympathies to Mary's Family.

Derek Green.
