'It is with a heavy heart that we must announce our
loving father, Sir Roger Moore, has passed away today
in Switzerland after a short but brave battle with cancer.
"The love with which he was surrounded in his final days
was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone."
"We know our own love and admiration will be magnified
many times over, across the world, by people who knew
him for his films, his television shows and his
passionate work for UNICEF which he considered to be
his greatest achievement.
"The affection our father felt whenever he walked onto a
stage or in front of a camera buoyed him hugely and
kept him busy working into his 90th year, through to his
last appearance in November 2016 on stage at London's
Royal Festival Hall.
"The capacity crowd cheered him on and off stage,
shaking the very foundations of the building just a short
distance from where he was born.
"Thank you Pops for being you, and for being so very
special to so many people. Our thoughts must now turn
to supporting Kristina at this difficult time, and in
accordance with our father's wishes there will be a
private funeral in Monaco.' the statement reads.
Sir Roger Moore was best known for being the third
actor to play the British secret agent James Bond in
seven feature films between 1973 and 1985 and Simon
Templar in The Saint between 1962 and 1969.
