An extraordinary man and life lead, Sir Christopher Lee. You were an icon, and a towering human being with stories for days. We'll miss you.

We cheered when Dracula, Saruman & Dooku lost. But today, we weep for the loss of the man who played them all. Farewell Sir Christopher Lee!

The great, always criminally underrated Sir Christopher Lee has left us. A Titan of Cinema and a huge part of my youth. Farewell.

We are very sad to hear Sir Christopher Lee, who played one of Bond's greatest villains, has passed away. Our thoughts are with his family

It's terribly when you lose an old friend, and Christopher Lee was one of my oldest. We first met in 1948.

I wish I'd met Sir Christopher Lee. I was so lucky & proud to have had him play the Earl in @BBCRadio4 Neverwhere. Great actor, great loss.

#ChristopherLee was a giant among nerds. As a young Hammer-head, his presence made a movie a must-see. His Mycroft Holmes is unsurpassed.

Christopher Lee, one of the greatest men I've had the honour of meeting has passed away. He was one of the greats, and will be remembered

RIP Christopher Lee. The great horror actor who's amazing performance in #LOTR brought Saruman to life with subtlety, power and depth.

Scared the living daylights out of me for years. And I loved him for it.

Do you have kids? They know who Christopher Lee is. Are your grandparents still around? So do they. That's amazing. Such a cool guy too.
