Audrey Hepburn, Roger Moore and Angela Lansbury are among the stars that feature in the lost photographs of George Douglas. The famous photographer died in 2010 but several previously unseen photographs were recently found in his Brighton home. The pictures span the 1940s - 1960s and capture celebrities during their down time.

George Douglas was known as Speedy George because of his fast work rate. As well as celebrities he also turned his hand to capturing other subjects, including the first female chimney sweep.

The photographs are due to go on display in Brighton this month. Definitely one to see if you're in the area.
