Hundreds of people including Russian and US astronauts and top officials bid farewell Oct. 15 to Alexei Leonov, a legendary Soviet cosmonaut who was the first man to perform a spacewalk.
Thomas Stafford, an 89-year-old retired NASA astronaut, Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to travel into space, and Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu were among those gathered for a funeral with military honours just outside Moscow.
