Bonds past and present attend Ian Fleming tribute

06/10/2008

James Bonds past and present paid tribute to creator Ian Fleming at London’s Palladium theatre last night. Current incumbent Daniel Craig (with his arm in a sling) and 007 veteran Sir Roger Moore, both of whom are interviewed in November’s GQ, took part in The Story Of James Bond: A Tribute To Ian Fleming, a star-studded event hosted by Stephen Fry and former Bond girl Joanna Lumley. Other Bond girls including Rosamund Pike and Quantum Of Solace’s Gemma Arterton also put in a welcome appearance, while Jeremy Irons and onetime Bond villain Toby Stephens read extracts from Fleming’s memoirs and novels respectively. Fellow literary types Sebastian Faulks, who wrote new Bond book Devil May Care, and Charlie Higson, author of the young Bond novels, also attended. Guests were kept well lubricated with Bond’s champagne of choice, Dom Pérignon (the 2000 vintage as opposed to the spy’s preferred ’46).
