Dame Helen Mirren, who has won Academy, BAFTA, Golden Globe, Olivier and Tony Awards for her portrayal of The Queen, yesterday released a very majestic message on Instagram to world leaders dealing with the coronavirus outbreak.
Mirren delivered her missive in the form of an extract from poet John Donne's Meditation XVII - beginning with the vital idea "No man is an island". Let's hope all our leaders heed this call for community and positive collective action...
