Sir Roger Moore has died aged 89.

A statement was released today on the James Bond star's Twitter account by his family.

It read: "With the heaviest of hearts, we must share the awful news that our father, Sir Roger Moore, passed away today. We are all devastated."

The London-born star is best known for playing famous secret agent 007.

He starred in seven Bond movies between 1973 and 1985.

Rest in peace, Mr. Bond . . .

Long before he was in her majesty's secret service, he was The Saint.

One of our local station showed reruns during the mid to late 70's.

He wasn't my favorite Bond (that goes to Connery), but he was an icon of the role. Godspeed, Sir Roger.

He was my favorite; but mainly for sentimental reasons. He's the one I grew up watching, and The Spy Who Loved Me was the first Bond film I ever watched.


RIP Roger Moore.
