Didn't he cancel the visit to Dymocks and left DB hurriedly as he felt unwell? I waited outside and was told this story.

Nope, he came. I got 2 books signed. Hopefully will be worth something after the 50th Bond actor is chosen!

Great guy.  Son of a London policeman.  No pomposity.  Took all the fame stuff tongue in cheek.  Called himself Jimmy Bond.

Sir Roger Moore was in DB on Saturday, 29 November 2008 to sign copies of his memoir "My Word is my Bond". He was 81 years old at that time.

SCMP has a nice article on him filiming "The Man with the Golden Gun" in Hong Kong in 1974.

I was fascinated to read about RMS (Royal Mail Service) Queen Elizabeth which sank off Tsing Yi in 1972. It was the world's largest cruiseliner purchased by Chinese shipping magnate, Tung Chao Yung (董浩雲 aka 董兆荣) who wanted to convert it into a floating university and the ship was renamed SS Seawise University. The Queen Mother was distraught upon learning what happened. It was confirmed to be the work of an arsonist as five separate fires were discovered around the ship. Tung died aged 70, ten years after the incident. His company went into financial trouble and was bailed out by the PRC government. His son, Tung Chee Hwa, became the first Chief Executive of HKSAR.
