He was born in Stockwell, South London, which is now mostly famous as an interchange between the Northern & the Victoria tube lines. The Swan was a famous pub right opposite the station and I think it is still there. I haven't been in it for decades. Sir Roger occupied many of the same areas as another London acting knight, Sir Michael Caine.
Happy ONE HUNDREDTH birthday to Caracatus Potts himself, Dick Van Dyke! My British friends, after all this time, can you please forgive him for the bad Cockney accent in MARY POPPINS?
Dick van Dyke turning 100 is the best news all day - but how many tuned into the news to see clips of the great man and immediately feared the worst?

Happy 100th Birthday indeed to the legendary Dick Van Dyke. He memorably played against type as the unsympathetic guest star killer Paul Galesko in Columbo: Negative Reaction (1974) which is one of the best episodes in the series. As well as starring in the film version of Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang he also could have even been James Bond at one point:
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor turned 66 today, and I'm happy to see the police had a special surprise for him on the day. I hope a free trip to the US can be arranged for him at a later date. 🙂
But it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court and anything you do say may be given in evidence against yoooooou.

Not Bond, but close enough …Many happy returns to Sir Michael Caine who turns 91 today!
Incredible to think that his close friends Sir Roger Moore and Sir Sean Connery also both reached the ages of 89 and 90 respectively.
Ursula Andress is 88 today. Many best wishes to her 😀

Sir Roger Moore would have been 97 today.

Forever in our hearts. A constant inspiration.
Just realised that my mother died on Roger Moore's birthday - only later in the same year that Moore himself died.
Here's a nice piece lifted from Twitter/X:

Spy novelist Len Deighton turned 97 yesterday. Wishing him many happy returns.

As Lissa Evans- @LissaKEvans - on X puts it:
Happy Birthday to you,
Squashed tomatoes and stew
You do not have to say anything

Len Deighton is still alive ???? How did that happen ????
He's doing very well. I can't think of another author of that sort of vintage from the Golden Age of Spy Fiction who is still alive today.
