The Wimbledon crowd stands up and applauds Professor Sarah Gilbert, who can be seen in the front row in a red jacket.
On Monday, the opening day of the game at Wimbledon Center Court in London, said the crowd spokesman that some special guests were in attendance.
People who played a crucial role in the UK’s response to the coronavirus pandemic – from transport workers to medical staff from the UK’s National Health Service – had been invited to sit in the royal box.
« Today [special guests] include executives who developed the anti-COVID vaccines, » the spokesman said as the camera shots on Dame Sarah Gilbert, a vaccinology professor at Oxford University, which led the team that developed AstraZeneca, zoomed in on the vaccine.
For her efforts, Gilbert was honored earlier this month when she was added to the Birthdate List In honor of the Queen.
When the spectators at Wimbledon noticed who was present, they broke out into wild applause that soon turned into a standing ovation.
