In accordance with the last wishes of the actor, Sean Connery will rest in his native Scotland.

Ten days after his death, the actor's widow, Micheline Roquebrune, told the

Scottish Mail on Sunday

the family's plans for the burial of the legendary James Bond actor.

“He wanted his ashes to be scattered in the Bahamas but also in his native country.

So as soon as it is possible and safe to travel, the family intends to return to Scotland with him, ”announced the one who remained married to the star for 45 years.

If he had left Scotland for a long time and had indeed lived in the Bahamas with his wife since the 1990s, Sean Connery had remained very attached to his native lands, even having “Scotland Forever” tattooed on his arm.

"We are going to organize a tribute for him in Scotland"

Micheline Roquebrune confirms that Sean Connery's family also wants to organize a special event to commemorate the star's memory.

This is how it works.

This is what we hope in any case.

But we can not say when this tribute will take place, ”she added to the publication.

Sean Connery's remains are expected to be cremated in a small ceremony near Lyford Cay, Bahamas, where he resided, and his ashes will be kept until international travel is re-authorized.
