The Edinburgh born actor died at his Bahamas home with his wife Micheline by his side.

She later revealed the Hollywood star had been suffering from dementia.

A petition has been started asking airport owner Global Infrastructure Partners to consider the name change.

It reads:

“Liverpool has John Lennon airport; Belfast has George Best airport and, with the death of one of her most famous sons, Edinburgh should have a Sir Sean Connery airport.”
