Celebrity Sean Connery's Ashes to Be Scattered in His Beloved Scotland: 'That Was His Final Wish,' Says Widow
Sean Connery is making one last trip to the beloved land of his birth.
“We are going to bring Sean back to Scotland – that was his final wish,” Connery’s widow, Micheline Roquebrune, told the Scottish Mail on Sunday about the Bond legend, who passed away on Oct.31 at his home in the Bahamas. He was aged 90.
“He wanted his ashes to be scattered in the Bahamas and also in his homeland," she continued, adding that his family would like this to happen just as soon as the coronavirus restrictions allow.
“Whenever it is possible and safe to travel again, then it is the family’s intention to return to Scotland with him,”
I was happy to hear that he hadn't forgotten his homeland.

ladybirder - // I remember he beat and abused his 1st wife, Diane Cilento. A nasty piece of work. //
That does not impinge on his rights to live somewhere other than where he was born, and have an opinion on the affairs of his country of origin.
It just makes him a chauvinist pig - but that's not what we are debating, that's a separate discussion.

Mended his ways? Hitting maybe. Cheating No.
From my link //In 1975, Connery married the wealthy Moroccan-French painter Micheline Roquebrune. The marriage survived a well-documented affair that Connery had in the late 1980s with the singer and songwriter Lynsey de Paul. \\
Not a man to be admired in my book.

jno - // it means "when did you stop beating your wife" //
I'm not sure that is a reliable comparison.
The phrase "When did you stop beating your wife?" is a famous example of a 'loaded question' - it's a question to which any answer will make the respondent look bad.
If you ask a Mt Smith, a politician, that question and he says "I have never beaten my wife!" - there is tomorrow's headline right there - why does Mr Smith feel the need to deny that he has ever beaten his wife, and it sows the seed in the minds of the readership that there is something to do with violence in his character.
That doesn't apply here - Mr Connery did have something violent in his character, and as the link provided shows, he was quite happy to repeat his 'reasoning' on television.
