The opening night of the Theatre Royal was a glittering occasion starring Ken Dodd with his Laughter Show.
Ken Dodd had strong links to Nottingham, making his professional debut at the Empire Theatre, Nottingham, in 1954.
This photograph shows Nick Thompson and his wife Clare Ferraby, architect and designer respectively of the refurbished Theatre Royal, with Ken Dodd after the show.
Ken Dodd was so impressed with their work, he added a personal note on a Greetings Telegram to them from their project consultants.
