Desmond Llewelyn - Q to many of us, was tragically killed in a car crash while driving home from a book signing in London. Our thoughts here at TREO are with his family and friends, and we hope his memory is kept alive with the Bond franchise.

A month after this tragic event Roger was interviewed in the Times newspaper, on a 2 page article. It discussed his career, the accident, some of his private life and his current work for UNICEF and how he got involved.
