Taken from BBC News - another exciting 007 50th Anniversary event...


Roger Moore and other stars are to appear at UK locations used in the 007 movies to mark the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise.

Former Bond girls, including Eunice Gayson, Britt Ekland and Shirley Eaton, and villain Richard Kiel are also among the cast for the 007 Days of Bond tour.

The locations include Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland, Penbryn Beach in Wales, and Stoke Park in England.The latest film, Skyfall, will open in cinemas next month. Some of the scenes for that feature were shot in London and also Glen Etive, the White Corries and Dalness Lodge in the Highlands.

On Monday, Moore will launch 007 Days of Bond at Eilean Donan Castle in Kyle of Lochalsh. The castle was used for The World Is Not Enough, which starred Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent.

Moore, 84, who starred in seven Bond films between 1973 and 1985, will travel to Eilean Donan in an Aston Martin DBS which featured in 2008's Quantum of Solace.

Gayson, who appeared in Dr No and From Russia With Love in the 1960s, will also make an appearance at Eilean Donan.
Later on Monday, a helicopter will retrace the route of a chase scene from From Russia With Love near Lochgilphead, in Argyll, where the scene was filmed.

Over the following days, the event will tour the UK with stop-offs at Penbryn Beach, Ceredigion; Nene Valley Railway, Peterborough; Stoke Park, Buckinghamshire, and The Eden Project, Cornwall.

It will finish in London on 23 and 24 September.

Stars making appearances include Eaton, who was covered in gold paint in Goldfinger, and Kiel who played villain-turned-good-guy Jaws. Oscar-winning Lindy Hemming, a costume designer on several Bonds including 2006's Casino Royale, stunt co-ordinator Paul Weston and director John Glen are also to take part.



Hats off, yet again, to Sir Roger and of course the other actors and crew for backing another 50th celebration!

I don't know how he finds the energy at the age of 84. What a leg-end!

Neat publicity still, but as it's a year too early for him to be pointing at either Nick-Nack or Lazar's nether regions, what in the world is Roger threatening to shoot at that height?

Maybe it's that damn snake come back for revenge, so Bond's getting the big guns out...! Good point though...

Thanks quantumofsolace - a great marketing idea, and great to see so many old faces from the Bond films back in the game for the celebrations.

More shots from Friday, in Buckinghamshire with Britt Ekland, Eunice Gayson and Tania Mallet.

And dare I say, Tania looks stunning and very beautiful still.

They all look great.

Did you see The One Show? They did a little feature at the Nene Valley with John Glen and Paul Weston.
