And many took to Judy's Twitter to comment on her post.

One said: "Aw bless Judy. I bumped into your father at Dunblane Museum a few years ago. He very kindly showed me and my tennis mad son around and told a few stories about his own sporting career. I remember him saying how proud he was of you and his grandchildren!"

One fan commented: "That is such good news for them , and a weight off your mind. As an aside pass on our regards to Andy and hope he feels better soon."

Another added: "My lovely parents were jabbed there today too and neither felt a thing! It was all very efficient and they are very thankful to all those on duty today. I have fond memories of Vicy Hall discos back in the 70's!

While one wrote: "It was our pleasure!! Will pass that to the team that I co-ordinated."
