Sir Sean Connery was sent to top US clinic by best friend Sir Jackie Stewart

Racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart has revealed he sent best pal Sir Sean Connery to a leading American clinic popular with celebrities to help the Bond icon's battle with dementia.

The Record reports how Sir Jackie believes the treatment Edinburgh-born Sir Sean got at the renowned Mayo Clinic kept him alive for an extra few months – so he could spend precious extra time with family and friends.

Both all-time greats in their chosen fields and proud Scotsmen, the two men built up a close bond and lasting friendship after first meeting in the early 70s.
