Daniel Craig - the current James Bond - has paid tribute to the longest-serving 007, Sir Roger Moore, who died on Tuesday aged 89.
In a reference to the theme of Sir Roger's The Spy Who Loved Me, Craig posted a photo of the pair in tuxedos with the caption "Nobody Does It Better - Daniel".
Sir Roger - who played the role of James Bond seven times - had previously said that while he thought Sir Sean Connery had been the greatest Bond, fans were "lucky" to have Craig as the current star of the franchise.

Pierce Brosnan - who like Craig starred as Bond four times - also paid tribute to his predecessor describing Sir Roger as "magnificent".
In a post on Instagram, Brosnan wrote: "Dear Sir Roger Moore, It is indeed with a heavy heart that I hear the news of your passing this morning.
"You were a big part of my life, from The Saint to James Bond... you were a magnificent James Bond and one that lead the way for me, the world will miss you and your unique sense of humour for years to come."

Former Bond girl, Jane Seymour, who starred with Sir Roger in 1973's Live And Let Die, remembered him as being "funny, kind and thoughtful to everyone around him".
Fondly describing him as "my Bond", she said "Roger taught me what a movie star really was and should be".
Among Sir Roger's Bond films were Moonraker, A View To A Kill and The Man With The Golden Gun.
