15 best old age photos that make you think

Today, October 1, the whole world celebrates the International Day of Older Persons. Initially, this holiday appeared in Europe, later in America, and only by the end of the 90s was it recognized all over the world. The Day of the Elderly is celebrated on a large scale in Scandinavia: programs dedicated to the older generation are broadcast on television and radio, entertainment and socially significant events are organized for them, including festivals, conferences and charity events. In Russia, unfortunately, this holiday has not yet become widespread.

We have prepared a series of the best photographs, emotionally and poignantly portraying the elderly, and we hope that they will help you think about what is really important and remember our old people, who are extremely important and need the attention of others and loved ones.
