I just saw this on my personal Twitter feed, as well as the following BBC article. I greatly enjoyed Roger Moore both in old episodes of The Saint, as well as his turn as 007.

My condolences to his friends & family.

Before my time but RIP!

I should clarify that I am 41 as of the present moment, so the TV series The Saint was before my time too, but I've watched old re-runs years ago when I was younger (similar to Star Trek TOS).
 
He's the first Bond I knew.
 
Definitely a great one. Sorry to see you go Sir Roger Moore... :oldfrown:
 
Besides "The Saint" and "James Bond" I also enjoyed him in the TV series "The Persuaders" together with Tony Curtis, back when I was in elementary school. He was an excellent actor and a great person. RIP Sir Roger Moore.
 
RIP Roger, a true gentleman

I didn't see George Lazenby in the first bond movie at the theatre (1969) only in later years when replayed on TV
But I did see all the Sean Connery then Roger Moore and those that followed, on the big screen

A remarkable, very successful and enjoyable movie franchiseDave
