Upon hearing the news, touching notes from celebrities began pouring in on social media. 

“RIP Sir Roger Moore. My first Bond and one of the first actors that I loved as a kid. And a lovely, funny, warm person to boot. Farewell,” wrote director Edgar Wright, while actor Jim Howick called Moore his “first hero.”
