#ROGERMOORE
Fans paid tribute to Sir Roger Moore after the James Bond actor passed away at the age of 89. Moore played the spy in seven Bond films including Live and Let Die and The Spy Who Loved Me. @chrisrwright posted: “The first Bond is the deepest. Goodbye to the best there was. You funny, special man. I’ll be raising an eyebrow to you tonight.” @thepfd wrote: “He was the ideal Bond for the time a touch of humour and oh so suave” @Stenbizz said: “RIP Roger Moore. Grew up relentlessly watching his Bond movies over and over again. Still do.”
