The family of a former Bond actor is making a huge donation to the global children's charity, Unicef.
Tell me more!
Roger Moore died in 2017, after playing James Bond in seven films. Throughout his life he put together quite a collection of Bond memorabilia, as well as other expensive items.
Now his family are auctioning off 180 lots from his collection, with a part of the proceeds going to Unicef.
Why Unicef?
Moore was appointed a goodwill ambassador for Unicef (the United Nations Children’s Fund) in 1991.
The auction is set to raise thousands for charity, with suits from James Bond films predicted to be sold for tens of thousands of pounds.
The auction will take place on 4th October, and you can find more information here.
