Pierce Brosnan also paid tribute to Moore and called him the “the greatest Bond of his time”.
In a statement, he said: “Sir Roger was the greatest Bond of his time. He embraced the role with an easy charm and grace that let us all in on the game. He saved the world seven times and then went on to become an even greater man working to ‘save the children’ with UNICEF.
“He never forgot the audience and we shall never forget him. I am proud to have followed in your footsteps, Sir Roger. My heartfelt condolences to your family, friends and children.”
Former Bond girl, Jane Seymour, remembered Roger Moore as “funny, kind and thoughtful”.
