==Awards and legacy== {{Quote box|width=30%|align=right|quote="Most people settle on Sir Roger Moore or Sir Sean Connery as their favourite Bond. Why Moore? Because he was Bond incarnate, and then some. He was the quintessential Englishman, somewhere between gentleman and jester – a slick, schmaltzy, suave provocateur. He handled the tone of the role perfectly, pitching his delivery somewhere between the camp kitsch of <!-- [[MOS:TYPOFIX]] -->[Pierce Brosnan] and the smouldering cool of Connery. Moore's 007 was, in a word, fun: never above a wry laugh, preferably with a dry Martini in hand."|source = — Francis Blagburn writing in ''[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]]'', May 2017.<ref name="Telegraph 2017"/>}} Moore was appointed Commander of the [[Order of the British Empire]] (CBE) in the [[1999 New Year Honours]]<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=55354 |date=31 December 1998 |page=23 |supp=y}}</ref> and was promoted to Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in the [[2003 Birthday Honours]] for charitable services, especially UNICEF and latterly [[Kiwanis|Kiwanis International]], which had dominated his public life for more than a decade.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=56963|date=14 June 2003|page=24|supp=y}}</ref> On being knighted, Moore said that the citation "meant far more to me than if I had got it for acting...
