Just months after the death of his wife Kelly Preston, John Travolta has honoured his offspring with a throwback photo of when they were small children
John Travolta has honoured two of his kids in a sweet throwback photo after he was rocked by another family tragedy.
It has been a difficult year for the 66-year-old Pulp Fiction star with his nephew, Sam Travolta Jr, passing away just weeks after his wife Kelly Preston lost her battle with cancer.
The Hollywood star celebrated his son and daughter with a cute throwback pic of when they were small children, on Instagram.
John's daughter Ella is now 20, while son Benjamin is nine but his boy is only just a toddler in the snap as Ella is aged around 12 years old.
The actor has captioned the happy photo: "TBT 'My babies.'"

There was still a tinge of sadness to the pic though as the children's brother Jett is missing. Born in 1992, he passed away aged 16.
It has been a difficult few months for John, as he continues to mourn the passing of his screenwriter nephew Sam, who died at his home in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin on September 23.
Sam had made headlines when he spoke about the psychological toll Scientology had taken on him.
Speaking in 2015, he slammed the church that he left in 2007 despite John still being a devotee of it.

thedailymirror--2020-10-22--Oxford coronavirus vaccine 'doing everything expected' study finds

A coronavirus vaccine developed at Oxford University is `` doing everything expected '' and provokes strong immunity to the virus , according to a study .
The vaccine , which many hope will defeat the ongoing battle against Covid-19 , is understood to safely trigger an immune response in volunteers who took part in the trials .
David Matthews , an expert in virology from Bristol University , who led the research , said the vaccine is `` doing everything we expected . ''
He said : “ This is an important study as we are able to confirm that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is being developed as fast as safely possible , are correctly followed when they get into a human cell .
“ Until now , the technology hasn ’ t been able to provide answers with such clarity , but we now know the vaccine is doing everything we expected and that is only good news in our fight against the illness.
” These instructions detail how to make the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 , the virus that causes Covid-19 .
Once the spike protein is made , the immune system reacts to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ identify a real Covid-19 infection .
This means that when the person vaccinated is confronted with SARS-CoV-2 , their immune system is pre-trained and ready to attack it .
Sarah Gilbert , Professor of Vaccinology at the University of Oxford and lead on the Oxford vaccine trial , said : “ This is a wonderful example of cross-disciplinary collaboration , using new technology to examine exactly what the vaccine does when it gets inside a human cell .
“ The study confirms that large amounts of the coronavirus spike protein are produced with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long way to explaining the success of the vaccine in inducing a strong immune response.
” The research was not peer reviewed by other scientists , but was published as a preprint before review .
Sir Patrick Vallance said that while there has been `` remarkable '' progress made around the world , vaccines will not be in widespread use until some time next year .
Speaking at a Downing Street press briefing , he said it was too early to speculate about how effective a vaccine might be , but said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allow the `` release '' of measures such as social distancing and mask-wearing .
`` That 's got to be an aim that we would all wish for and that 's why so many companies around the world are working on vaccines and why there has been such remarkable progress , '' he said .
`` Things are progressing well , there are vaccines that produce an immune response , they 're in phase three clinical trials , we should be seeing some data read-outs over the course of this year , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possibility of wider-spread use of vaccines is n't going to be until spring or so next year by the time we get enough doses and enough understanding of the outputs to use them .
`` Now we may get a few doses this side of Christmas , maybe something could happen , but I think we should more realistically be looking at spring , and of course there are no guarantees until the studies have read out .
`` So we need to be cautious and carry on , but there is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' Sir Patrick added .
Earlier this week , Sir Patrick said that only one disease - smallpox - had ever been completely eradicated .
Giving evidence to the joint committee on National Security Strategy , he said that in the future - treating Covid-19 may become more like seasonal flu .
He said that over the next few months it will become clear whether there are any vaccines that do protect , and how long for , adding that while a number of candidates cause an immune response , only phase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people from being infected .

In news that will give many hope, experts say the vaccine is understood to safely trigger an immune response in volunteers who took part in the trials, which has been hailed as 'remarkable progress'
A coronavirus vaccine developed at Oxford University is "doing everything expected" and provokes strong immunity to the virus, according to a study.
The vaccine, which many hope will defeat the ongoing battle against Covid-19, is understood to safely trigger an immune response in volunteers who took part in the trials.
David Matthews, an expert in virology from Bristol University, who led the research, said the vaccine is "doing everything we expected."
He said: “This is an important study as we are able to confirm that the genetic instructions underpinning this vaccine, which is being developed as fast as safely possible, are correctly followed when they get into a human cell.

Edson Arantes do Nascimento - known to fans the world over as Pelé - is one of the most recognisable figures in world football .

The top five goalscorers of all time
The top five goalscorers of all time
Brazilian football legend Pelé celebrates his 80th birthday on Friday. In his career, the forward scored hundreds of goals for Santos, New York Cosmos and the Brazil national team
The terrifying sight that ended Pele's first dream and gave him nightmares
One of the greatest strikers in football history turns 80 on Friday.
Edson Arantes do Nascimento - known to fans the world over as Pelé - is one of the most recognisable figures in world football.
During his 21-year career, the Brazilian icon lifted the World Cup three times in his country’s famous yellow shirt, along with numerous trophies and accolades at club level.
He also scored more than 750 goals during his professional career, including more than 500 league strikes.
To this day he remains Brazil’s leading goalscorer, finding the net 77 times for his country.
But it could have been so different.
Childhood in Brazil
Pelé was born in the Brazilian town of Três Corações on October 23 1940. His birth name, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, was in honour of Thomas Edison, the American inventor who helped pioneer the use of electricity in the late 19th century and early 1900s.
In 2014 Pelé said he was named after Edioson “because electricity had just been introduced to my hometown in Brazil when I was born”.
The young grew up in poverty in Bauru in the state of Sao Paulo.
His father, João Ramos do Nascimento, was a footballer better known as Dondinho.
During this time, footballers in Brazil were paid very little, and Dondinho played for a number of small clubs.
Nevertheless, he became Pelé’s first coach, teaching his son how to play football, not that they had a football.
Pelé’s family was so poor during this time that the kid who would go on to become Brazil’s record goalscorer had to make do with kicking around a stuffed sock.
Pelé’s first dream

Surprisingly, football wasn’t Pelé’s first career choice.
Between the ages of seven and eight, he dreamed of becoming a pilot.
I would go down to the Aero Club to watch planes and gliders doing manoeuvres,” he recalled in his autobiography.
“I was desperate to be a pilot and whenever I could I would scoot off, even skip school, to head down to the airfield and marvel at the planes being readied for take-off or coming in to land and the pilots going about their business.”
That ambition came to a shuddering halt one afternoon when he saw the body of a glider pilot who had been killed in a crash.
Pelé and his friends saw the body laid out on the slab through a dirty morgue window. When the mortuary attendant attempted to move the pilot’s arm, a gush of blood spurted out.
“It was a terrifying sight, like something from a movie, and the image remained burned in my mind for days and nights afterwards. It gave me nightmares.
"I would often awake screaming, both at home and, even later, after I'd moved to Santos. I didn't like the dark - it scared me. I never went back to the Aero Club.”
