Il primo fisarmonicista al mondo a ricevere il vaccino Covid è John Jones MBE - Regno Unitoby Rob Howard |
 Il primo giorno del lancio del vaccino covid nel Regno Unito, John Jones MBE è diventatoil primo fisarmonicista al mondo a ricevere il vaccino anti-Covid Pfizer. Il Macclesfield General Hospital nel Cheshire ha offerto il vaccino a tutto il personale e ai volontari e, a causa dei suoi molti anni di raccolta fondi suonando la fisarmonica in ospedale, John è elencato come volontario. La raccolta fondi senza sosta di John lo ha reso una leggenda locale a Macclesfield! Da quando John si è ritirato dalla sua carriera di ingegnere di ponti strutturali nel 1992, ha dedicato gran parte del suo tempo alla raccolta di fondi per vari enti di beneficenza e nel 2012 ha ricevuto l'MBE per i suoi sforzi nella raccolta di oltre £ 250.000. La cerimonia si è svolta a Buckingham Palace, condotta da Sua Altezza Reale la Principessa Anna. Immagine a sinistra con il famoso rapper "Mist". |
