Sir Roger Moore's grave in Monaco vandalised
The grave of Sir Roger Moore has been vandalised, with brazen thieves taking off with a large family crest that was featured on the late James Bond actor's headstone.
The desecration was first noticed by a fan of Moore's, who said he stopped by the small exclusive cemetery in Monaco to see the former 007's resting place.
As the man searched for the grave, he noticed Moore's headstone was set apart by the others after he realised a large family crest, which adorned all the other Moore family headstones, was missing.
The fan posted pictures of the gravestone online, stirring up outrage among fans.
He told TMZ he was outraged that someone would meddle with a grave, James Bond legend or not, as others echoed his sentiment.
The fan said he was "equal parts shocked and p****d someone would desecrate any grave - but especially one belonging to the James Bond legend".
One person wrote on X, "If this doesn’t shake you up, it should stir you up a bit… why would anybody vandalise Sir Roger Moore’s grave?"
Another added, "So disrespectful! What a world."
The iconic actor began playing the role of James Bond after Sean Connery in 1973 and played 007 in seven films across 12 years in the iconic franchise, making him the most prolific actor to play the role.
Moore died in 2017 at the age of 89 after a lengthy battle with cancer.
