The other Roger

With the death of Roger Moore, we have not only lost an actor who brought great enjoyment to our cinema and TV screens.

Sir Roger was also a remarkable humanitarian and never lost an opportunity to speak out for human rights.

He once said that when he was attending a gathering at a charity event for African children, Robert Mugabe entered with his henchmen and all the goodness at the venue seemed polluted by the evil radiating from Mugabe. If there an afterlife, Sir Roger need have no fear of Mugabe joining him in paradise. Tony Moriarty, Harold’s Cross, Dublin 6W.
