Actor Sir Sean Connery is joining the UK board of Independent News & Media, which oversees The Independent, The Independent on Sunday and the Belfast Telegraph.
Connery said: “Tony O’Reilly is an old friend and I was delighted when he asked me to serve on the Independent board. I admire what he is doing with the title, which stands as a voice of sanity and integrity in an industry whose standards I have had some cause to complain of.”
