What a sad day, news of 2 great Elder statesman passing. Our deepest condolences to Her Majesty, The Queen. on the passing of Prince Phillip. He has been her rock for 73 years. Then I have just heard that Wally Schneiderman has also passed. All out thoughts are with his family and espesially Beryl. He was an unsung hero for his work on many films, his talent took him all over to work, we had some of the most talented Make-up men in the world.
