Sir Patrick Stewart features in a new Yorkshire Tea advertisement filmed in Harrogate.
The iconic actor, who is known for films and television series such as X-Men and Star Trek, is the latest star to appear in the brand’s “Where Everything’s Done Proper’ TV adverts.
In the one-minute advertisement, he can be seen paying tribute to a colleague on her last day of work.

The advert was first broadcast on television yesterday and was filmed in Harrogate with employees from across the business.
Yorkshire Tea is part of the Bettys and Taylors Group, whose brands also include Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate.
Sir Patrick said:
“”No matter where I am in the world, I always make sure I have some Yorkshire Tea with me for a proper brew.
“My career has taken me from the West End to Broadway, from Hollywood to the far ends of the galaxy, but now I’ve returned to where it all began. Yorkshire.”
