Sad to report the passing of Barry Fletcher Jones at the grand age of 100.
Barry was a stalwart of the backstage crew from the very earliest days of RST.
He was the main photographer and the reason we still have so many images of those early days to look back on. As long as we have those photos, RST will remember him.

RIP Barry.
