HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

Love the pic, but there's got to be a better way to phrase post titles like this without sounding like an obituary.

am not so good with the titles

No worries, just caught me off guard is all.

Same. Maybe start it with [Still alive] Sir Ian...

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You could just title it Sir Ian on a motorbike in 1965
