George
Lazenby looked on aghast
For
once our James's heart grew fond
Alas,
this marriage didn't last*...
Nostalgia
hits me, I recall
Those
Sunday evenings on the box
When
Emma Peel and Steed held sway
And
«The Avengers» was the tops!
What
sadness when I heard the news
Another
Sixties' icon leaves
In
Diana Rigg we lose
A
wondrous actress; the world grieves...
Feisty,
sexy, chic and smart
With
that twinkle in her eye
We
took Diana to our heart
And
find it hard to say goodbye...
The
dreaded «C» , the enemy
That
she and Steed could not combat
But
she roams in our memory:
Jump
suit, tall boots and bowler hat...

She died on September 10th, 2020, aged 82.
