Marlow vaccine centre at Lunar Park has apologised after a patient turned up for his second coronavirus jab to find the site was "deserted and locked up".

The centre confirmed that several appointments were rescheduled on July 12 for "operational reasons" and that messages were left for the affected patients.

However, Chris Noel claimed that he received no communication of this and was left to complete an hour's round trip without getting his vaccine.
