We wanted to highlight a very special episode of Tea with Judi Dench soon to come featuring Sir Ian McKellen.🌟🎭
These two phenomenal actors have close links to us here at the TGHTAF with Dame Judi as our committed patron and generous advocate, and Sir Ian supporting our charity from it's inception after meeting George and inviting him to watch his performance as Hamlet soon after.
We cannot thank them both enough for their continued support of George's legacy🌻💚
