James Bond legend Sir Sean Connery dies aged 90
Sir Sean Connery, the beloved Scottish actor who starred as James Bond, has died aged 90.
Sir Sean's son Jason told the BBC his father died peacefully in his sleep overnight while in the Bahamas, having been "unwell for some time". Jason Connery said his father "had many of his family who could be in the Bahamas around him" when he died.
He said: "We are all working at understanding this huge event as it only happened so recently, even though my dad has been unwell for some time.
"A sad day for all who knew and loved my dad and a sad loss for all people around the world who enjoyed the wonderful gift he had as an actor."
Connery was raised in near poverty in the slums of Edinburgh and worked as a coffin polisher, milkman and lifeguard before his bodybuilding hobby helped launch an acting career that made him one of the world's biggest stars.
He will be remembered first as British agent 007, the character created by novelist Ian Fleming and immortalised by Connery in films starting with Dr. No in 1962.
