Albert Tanner

Albert Tanner was the brother of Arnold Tanner, and son of Wally.

Albert was the man responsible for walking his niece Linda down the aisle at her wedding to Ivan Cheveski in 1958, due to Arnold being absent from both Linda and her brother Dennis's lives. Although he had been told about the wedding, Arnold kept well away, which is why Albert gave Linda away - something of a sore point to Linda, who angrily brought it up when Arnold visited 11 Coronation Street in 1961, to ask his estranged wife Elsie for a divorce.
