Scottish independence: Sir Sean Connery urges Scots to break away from Britain as opportunity 'too good to miss'

Sir Sean Connery is urging Scots to vote in favour of independence, saying it is too good an opportunity to miss.

The James Bond star claimed a vote in favour of leaving the UK in September's referendum would “capture the world's attention”.

He added that he was “particularly excited” about the prospects that independence could offer the film and creative industries, saying these could be boosted by new inward investment, helping to create jobs north of the border.
