British actor, Sir Roger Moore, who played the super spy character of James Bond, has died at the age of 89.
His family announced that his demise follows a short but brave battle with cancer.
A statement, from his children, reads: “Thank you Pops for being you and being so very special to so many people. With the heaviest of hearts, we must share the awful news that our father, Sir Roger Moore, passed away today. We are all devastated.”
Sir Roger, who died in Switzerland, will have a private funeral in Monaco in accordance with his wishes, they added.
“The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone,” read the statement from Deborah, Geoffrey and Christian.
