Just in case you’re wondering what a Stephen Hawking medal looks like, this is it. And this is my one, which was a wonderful surprise for me – and this is what it looks like on the back. 

And you might see a familiar instrument on there the middle… was designed by Alexei Leonov, who you see here, being the first man to walk in space.  Sadly no longer with us but he was [a] luminary of the Starmus series, as was the amazing Stephen Hawking. 

So feeling very grateful.  I’m thankful. Thank you guys.

Starting my acceptance … tonight in Yerevan …. And so … time for bed ! Busy day tomorrow – a press call and lots of rehearsals !!!
