Eddie Royle

Eddie Royle was a typically sleazy press photographer who was soon on the scene when Lynn Johnson's body was found in 9 Coronation Street in January 1975. As Ray Langton and Jerry Booth, who had actually found the body, had been taken straight to the police station for questioning no one was able to tell the puzzled residents why there were police both outside and in No. 9 and why a stretchered corpse had been taken away. Royle, asking questions of everyone inside the Rovers, was able to supply some of the answers.
