- Friends and family say goodbye to Sir Roger Moore at Monte Carlo funeral
- Service celebrated James Bond star’s life after his short battle with cancer
- Fellow Bond stars Sir Sean Connery and Daniel Craig paid tribute to the actor
The life of James Bond star Sir Roger Moore was celebrated with a ‘beautiful service’ on Saturday, his manager has said.
Friends and family said their goodbyes to the longest-reigning 007, who died in Switzerland last month aged 89 after a ‘short but brave battle with cancer’, at a private service in Monte Carlo.
Sir Roger’s manager and biographer, Gareth Owen, posted a photo of the order of service on the actor’s official Twitter account on Sunday.
Following the news, Sir Roger’s predecessors and successors as Bond offered tributes, with Pierce Brosnan lauding him as ‘magnificent’ as he shared a photograph on Instagram of the pair together.
Sir Sean Connery said he will ‘miss’ the actor, with whom he enjoyed a long friendship ‘filled with jokes and laughter’ while Daniel Craig simply wrote ‘Nobody Does It Better’, in reference to the theme song of The Spy Who Loved Me.
