Sean Connery’s ashes are to be scattered in his native Scotland.
The actor died peacefully in his sleep, aged 90, surrounded by loved ones in the Bahamas on October 31.
And his widow Micheline Roquebrune has shared that it was the James Bond icon’s “final wish” to have part of his ashes taken to his homeland.
Micheline – who was married to Sean for 40-years – has also 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 a people around the world.”
According to Jason, Sir Sean “had many of his family who could be in the Bahamas around him” when he died in Nassau.
“We are all working at understanding this huge event as it only happened so recently, even though my dad has been unwell for some time,” admitted Jason.
