TV star Joanna Lumley has been given the Oldie of the Year award for all the sterling work she has done to help Gurkha soldiers earn the right to live in the UK after serving in Her Majesty’s armed forces.
The 63-year-old actress was given the accolade by veteran broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan at a ceremony in London, who praised her for not giving up the fight.
Each year, The Oldie magazine recognises the efforts of the older generation and this is the second time Ms Lumley has walked away with a prize, having won the Age Cannot Wither Her gong back in 2003.
"We would like to award her for her relentless efforts and continuing campaigning for GUrkhas rights and the Gurkha Justice Campaiign," Sir Terry said at the ceremony.
Recently, Ms Lumley helped launch a new charity called Tickets for Troops which offers members of the armed forces free tickets to major events.
