Co-stars of The Avengers actor Patrick Macnee have been paying tribute following his death at the age of 93.
The British actor, best known for playing dapper spy John Steed in the 1960s television show, died at home in California with his family at his bedside, his son Rupert said.
Dame Diana Rigg, who played Emma Peel in the show, said: “Patrick was a very dear man and I owe him a great deal.”
Sir Roger Moore described him as “a true gent”.
They appeared together on screen when Macnee played one of James Bond’s allies in 1985’s A View to a Kill.
