Pierce Watch: James Bond star enjoys day out in Knaresborough

Actor Pierce Brosnan visited several Knaresborough businesses.

Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan enjoyed a day of double O-heaven in Knaresborough last week.

The 70-year-old actor has been the talk of the town since he was pictured dining in Harrogate's Drum & Monkey last month.

He's thought to be staying in Harrogate whilst filming in Leeds.

And it seems the former James Bond actor, also known for Mamma Mia and Mrs Doubtfire, enjoyed quite the day in Knaresborough on Friday (10th May).

He was first seen in Yorkshire Eyewear on High Street, where he asked for a quick repair of his glasses.

He then visited Six Poor Folk, Appletons Butchers, Castle Creamery and The Yorkshire Beeswax Candle Company.

A spokesperson for The Yorkshire Beeswax Candle Company said:

"We had a lovely chat whilst Pierce was browsing our honey and scented candle range and he praised us on how incredible our shop looked.

"Hearing the lovely, kind comments on what we do from Pierce Brosnan was very special!"

Six Poor Folk shared a photo of the actor on their social media, alongside the caption:

"He's one of the true greats of British acting, currently filming in the area, and a real gentleman."
