He bettered the lives of countless individuals around the world through his long-standing involvement with UNICEF as a Goodwill Ambassador.

"I am devastated to learn of Roger Moore’s passing. The first leading role I ever had as a Bond girl was such a new and frightening world and Roger held my hand and guided me through every process. He taught me about work ethic and humility. He was so funny, kind and thoughtful to everyone around him and in that Roger taught me what a movie star really was and should be. Through his lifelong work with UNICEF he showed me the true meaning of being a humanitarian and giving back. He was my Bond."

RIP Sir, you will be truly missed.
Fuck me I don't believe this.
I knew this day would come at some point, and I had prepared myself for it, but it's still extremely painful to hear the news.
All I can say now is RIP Sir Rog. Thank you for everything. My childhood hero and a true gentleman of the highest order.
My heartfelt condolences and well wishes to his family.
Me too. Horrible news... Speechless really... RIP Sir.
The greatest man, the greatest gentleman. We were blessed to have such a shining example in our lives.
Rest in peace, Sir Roger. You will be truly missed.
I shall throw on Moonraker tonight, as that is the movie that made me a fan of himself, and of Bond.
I feel like I've lost a great uncle. Jeez. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.
Sir Roger was the quintessential gentleman. A true class act that forever stayed humble. God bless you, sir. You live on in all our hearts. Here's to raising a glass and an eyebrow to you.
I´m usually pretty impartial to the passing of a person I haven´t met personally.
But this news makes me want to cry.
R.I.P. Sir Rog. The world is a darker place without you.
I have always joked that playing James Bond is a guarantee of eternal life. Somehow I thought Sir Roger would get close to the ton.
And in me as well,i genuinely cant believe he has gone.
R.I.P.
you will always live on in our memories as the likeable gentleman and as the legendary James Bond on the TV screen.
