But last week, a visitor to the grave was "shocked and angry" to find that a part of the memorial had been "ripped off". The fan, who wanted to remain anonymous, posted pictures of the gravestone online, stirring up outrage among fans. He explained to TMZ that he was looking for the burial site's unique marker - a large family crest.

But when he found the telling feature, the large shield representing Moore's family had been ripped off from the headstone. The graveside visitor told the publication that he was "equal parts shocked and p****d someone would desecrate any grave - but especially one belonging to the James Bond legend".
