Ashes of the late James Bond actor, Sean Connery, are to be scattered in Scotland and the  Bahamas, according to his last wish.

The widow, married to Sean for 40 years, revealed that she plans to hold a memorial service for him near his Scottish home when travel regulations allow it.

She told The Scottish Mail on Sunday, “We are going to bring Sean back to Scotland that was his final wish. He wanted his ashes to be scattered in the Bahamas and also in his homeland.

“Whenever it is possible and safe to travel again, then it is the family’s intention to return with him. We would like to organise a memorial service for him in Scotland, that is our hope.”

She added that she is unsure when the service will ‘happen exactly.’

Sean had been “ill for some time” before he died in the Bahamas, his son recently revealed. Jason Connery shared the details of his father’s final days during a chat with the BBC.

He said that his dad died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by loved ones.

Paying tribute to his film star dad, Jason said his death would be a “sad loss for people around the world.”
