"Vyvyan: A Legacy of Greyhound Racing and Fascinating Personalities" In the world of greyhound racing, few names hold as much significance as Vyvyan. This captivating family has left an indelible mark on the sport, with their passion and dedication shining through in every endeavor. One of the stalwarts of this illustrious lineage was Mrs Vyvyan Drury (1907-1996), a remarkable woman whose love for greyhounds knew no bounds. Her commitment to the sport was unparalleled, and her expertise made her a revered figure among enthusiasts. In a studio portrait seated on a couch, Mrs Vyvyan Drury exudes grace and elegance, while her small daughter Romayne captivates with her own unique charm. The Vyvyan legacy continued with Charles Vyvyan and Hugh Vyvyan, two individuals who carried forward their family's proud tradition. Their contributions to greyhound racing were nothing short of extraordinary, earning them well-deserved recognition within the industry. The impact of the Vyvyans extended beyond just racing; they also graced magazine covers and captured hearts wherever they went. The Bystander cover featuring Mrs Vyvyan Drury showcased not only her beauty but also highlighted her status as an influential personality in society. Their involvement in other artistic endeavors is equally noteworthy. Albert Herring at Aldeburgh Festival 1962 stands out as one such occasion where their talents shone brightly outside the realm of greyhound racing. Captured by Madame Yevonde's lens, another stunning portrait showcases Mrs Vyvyan Drury's timeless allure. Her poise radiates from every frame, leaving an everlasting impression on all who behold it. From generation to generation, each member of the Vyvyan family brought their own unique flair to this beloved sport.
