“Whilst the pandemic continues to bring uncertainty and fear into our lives, we still have much to be thankful for.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the scientists for delivering these vaccines in record time and all the doctors, nurses, paramedics, NHS staff, and care workers who have kept going under the most onerous of pressures.
“Most importantly, I would like to thank every single person who has rolled up their sleeve and gotten vaccinated to help protect themselves and their communities.

“Most importantly, I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and safe 2022.”
