Thank you Denis. It really hits hard when you see the toll time is taking.

Oh, Franky, how true it is, this period started in 2015 for us - Avengers fans, I think.
Curious that one of the co-founders of Steedumbrella, Sergei Pronin, the head of productions for Russian Avengers audiobooks, wrote to me yesterday:

"I sympathize ... but now, unfortunately, just the time when our idols are leaving."

Although everyone is getting older, it does feel particularly shocking to have lost both Diana and Honor in the same year.

...and Roger Marshall!!!

Three iconic persons.

Of course, how can I have forgotten Roger Marshall!

Thanks for posting those pictures. They are great!

Paul, many thanks to you too. I did not know for sure that these pictures from the VK social network would be visible to users here, as I posted them from my private closed album on my VK page - but everything turns out to be in order. Thanks!!!

I especially like the black and white photo with Diana and Honor, I haven't seen this before.
