Thelma Barlow, who played the wonderful Mavis Riley on Coronation Street was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters this week from the University of Teesside. Thelma was born and bred in Middlesbrough and received the award Darlington's Lord Sawyer during a ceremony at Middlesbrough Town Hall on Friday.And you can watch Thelma receive her degree via the wonders of YouTube.
Good to see a picture of Mavis with the man she should have married rather than that waste of space Derek.
