The 57-year-old British actor, best known
internationally for playing patriarch Lord Grantham in the hit
TV series, is part of the support team who greet those who
arrive for their injections at the hub in Midhurst, southern
England.
Bonneville, also known for playing Henry Brown in the
"Paddington" films, was filmed by Britain's BBC disinfecting his
hands, signing in and putting on a name badge and bright yellow
high visibility waistcoat before getting down to work.
"For some people, it's the first time they've been out of their
house in a year," Bonneville, dressed in warm jacket and a
cowboy hat, said.
"We've had people who've really been grateful for the outing as
much as anything and this sense of a glimmer of hope so it's
great to be part of this team effort."
Some did not recognise him but one fan said she asked for a
selfie.
Britain has given out more than 12 million first doses of
COVID-19 vaccines.
