Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor has thanked the NHS after having her Covid vaccine.
Sally, who plays Corrie's Sally Metcalfe, says she feels 'so grateful' after having her jab.
The actress praised the health service after the Altrincham Healthcare Alliance Primary Care Network revealed Sally and former England and Manchester United captain Bryan Robson, 64, were among more than 800 people receiving their Coronavirus vaccines yesterday.
She wrote on Twitter: "Thank you so much to our NHS. Had my vaccine and I’m so grateful.
"Thank you for everything you do."
The PCN shared photos of both Sally and football legend Bryan having their jab.
They said: "@sallydynevor, one of 800+ receiving the COVID vaccine today, said 'it’s the best day I’ve had for ages… a huge thank you to everyone.' @bryanrobson added he was 'delighted'"
Sally was applauded by her co-star Sally Ann Matthews who cheered: "Woo hoo!!"
"Well done Sally," said another follower.
"That's fantastic news," said another fan.
The soap star from Middleton was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2021 New Year Honours for services to drama.
She has played Sally since 1986.
In 2016 Sally and Joe Duttine won the award for best On-Screen Partnership at the British Soap Awards for their portrayal as Sally and her husband Tim Metcalfe.
In 2009 Sally, 57, was diagnosed with breast cancer the same year her character was also told she had the same condition.
Sally was prompted by heartbreaking scenes about her much-loved character to see a nurse at ITV and to get checked after she found a small lump in her breast which felt like a grain of rice.
"I didn't think it was anything, it felt like a tiny little disc, but within 24 hours I found I had breast cancer," she told us previously.
"I had noticed the lump for probably about two or three months and it wasn't even a lump, it felt like a little piece of rice under the skin which was harder than the rest of the breast tissue."
Sally, a long-standing patron of the Manchester-based charity Prevent Breast Cancer, underwent treatment at The Christie and after a six-month break she returned to the ITV soap.
She has since been told that her own story prompted others to get checked.
