After the passing of Sir Roger Moore on 23 May 2017 a decision was made by Pinewood Studios to honour the legendary actor and humanitarian with a new soundstage named The Roger Moore Stage.

On Saturday 14th October, it would have been Sir Roger Moore's 90th birthday, so in celebration of his life, and to honour the man who called Pinewood home for over 40 productions as well as keeping an office here since 1970, HRH The Countess of Wessex officially opened The Roger Moore Stage.
