Sir Roger Moore was being honoured by being presented with a blue plaque at Elstree Studios on the 31st of October 2006. I being his web manager was given the honour and opportunity to report the event for his official website. So here I will endeavour to give all his fans hopefully a story which will make them feel they had attended themselves.

At approximately 3:30 p.m. on the day in question I was approaching Elstree studios when I noticed outside there were two white Volvo Saint cars. They each supported the Saint’s number plate ST1 but not only the number plates, on closer inspection the bonnet of one of the cars was signed with an extremely large signature by Sir Roger, Bob Baker, and Johnny Goodman. This would surely make this particular car an extremely nice piece of memorabilia to say the least! I only wish I owned that particular vehicle now.

I then noticed at this point that Sir Roger’s extremely efficient personal assistant Gareth was also approaching the venue. We entered the main room where the plaque was to be unveiled and there were already quite a large number of people who have mostly to some capacity worked on the series “The Saint”.

Just before 4 p.m. Sir Roger and his beautiful wife Lady Kristina Moore entered the room and of course suddenly the atmosphere changed as the focal point of the celebration was here. Sir Roger was immediately surrounded by a crowd of what would be mostly friends and working colleagues who were all wishing to congratulate him.

As always Roger was his charming self and spent as much time as possible speaking to everybody.
