Veteran star Ian McKellen has received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, and says he is feeling euphoric about it.
The 81-year-old star received the vaccine as part of the UK s priority category. The actor joins other stars in being vaccinated, such as Prue Leith, Lionel Blair and Michael Whitehall.
After getting the vaccine, McKellen said: It s a very special day, I feel euphoric! Anyone who has lived as long as I have is alive because they have had previous vaccinations. The take-up amongst the older generation will be 100 per cent - it ought to be because you re having it not just for yourself but for people who you are close to you re doing your bit for society, he added.
