Ian McKellen has paid the most touching tribute to Christopher Lee

Ian McKellen has used twitter as well as his amazing writing ability to pay a final tribute to his friend and co-star Christopher Lee who passed away earlier this week.

The pair were well known for their on screen battles in Lord of the Rings in which the two wizards, Gandalf (McKellen) and Saruman (Lee) went from allies to enemies in the blink of an eye.

With many celebrities paying their respects to Christopher Lee, Ian McKellen chose to post his message on his twitter page and it is certainly an emotion filled tribute to the late actor.
