Mr Chekov is a starman! Star Trek reunion as Walter Koenig is honoured with spot on Hollywood Walk of Fame

He was the last remaining member of the first crew to boldly go where no man has gone before to be honoured.
And Star Trek legend Walter Koenig was clearly delighted to be given a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.
The 75-year--old, who played Russian Ensign Pavel Chekov, could not hide his joy as he posed with fellow series originals and his family at the unveiling ceremony.

Baldly going where no man has gone before: Star Trek legend Walter Koenig was delighted to receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today

He said: '"This is something that you hope and wish for, dream about, but something you never expect to really happen.
'It's a joyous occasion and I am deeply honoured.'
It is eight years since the last member of the cast was recognized, with James Doohan, who played Scottish engineer Montogomery Scott, give a spot for his contribution to television.
And three of his crew mates turned out to appear with their old friend, with Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols and George Takai serving as his Starfleet guard of honour.

Family guy: His wife Judy Levitt and daughter Danielle were also proud to see him receive the recognition

Big moment: The star seemed to enjoy unveiling his star while surrounded by a gaggle of fans and friends

Ironically 81-year-old Leonard was the only person not to give a cheeky Vulcan salute for the cameras, despite the fact he had made it famous as Mr Spock.
The show's star William Shatner, who played Captain James T Kirk, was conspicuous by his absence however.
Perhaps even more joyful for Walter will have been celebrating with his wife Judy Levitt and daughter Danielle, who both gave him congratulatory kisses.
William Shatner was the first crew member to receive a star, and by 1992 James and Walter were the only crew members not to have one.

Old rivals: While George resented Walter initially they have became firm friends over the years

Fame game: While he also starred in Babylon 4 he is still best known for playing Chekov
