\u2014 \u00ab\u00a0The world has lost one of its great champions for children \u2014 and the entire UNICEF family has lost a great friend.

He once said that it was up to all of us to give children a more peaceful future. Together with Lady Kristina, he worked very hard to do so.\u00a0\u00bb \u2014 UNICEF executive director Anthony Lake in a statement.
\u2014 \u00ab\u00a0Roger Moore, loved him. At 10 I used to try to dress like Simon Templar. My mother worked part time at the Indonesian embassy. Added intrigue to my persona.\u00a0\u00bb \u2014 Russell Crowe on Twitter.
