Sir Patrick has been fitted with a pacemaker.

Brief clip from that:
The 83-year-old was admitted to St Richard's Hospital
in Chichester, West Sussex, on Tuesday.

His agent, Robert Voice, said Sir Patrick would have a pacemaker
fitted on Thursday in a routine operation.

"There's nothing to be concerned about; it wasn't an emergency,"
said Mr Voice, adding Sir Patrick was in "good form".




I'm sure we all wish him the best.
