Sean Connery, the Scottish actor best known for his portrayal of James Bond, has died aged 90.

His other most notable films include Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the Hunt for Red October, and the Rock.
The cause of his death is as yet undisclosed. The actor celebrated his 90th birthday in August.

A keen footballer, Connery was good enough to attract the attention of Matt Busby, who offered him a £25-a-week contract at Manchester United.
