Very sad. My dad used to take me to see all the original bond films when I was young and I've always been a big fan of his since.
Always amused me seeing that gun he held in the promo photo above.....a bloody air pistol. .....but I guess he thought it was funny too....he had a good sense of humour. PS. Walther LP-53
By far and away the best Bond of them all. Gone, sadly gone. Great shame. What a life he must have had though.
