Sir Billy Connolly has said he does not let his Parkinson's disease dictate who he is as he spoke of his honour at being named the recipient of this year's Bafta Fellowship.
The 79-year-old Scottish comedian, also known as The Big Yin, will be celebrated for a career spanning more than five decades at the Virgin Media Bafta TV Awards on May 8.
Sir Billy, who was knighted in 2017 for services to entertainment and charity, was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2013 and retired from live performances five years later, but has continued to record programmes and make TV appearances.
