Quantum of Solace - The Royal World Premiere - Part 1 of 2



This Royal World premiere was so big there were two cinemas used. Both Odeon and Empire were dedicated to the task. The main Odeon hosted Princes William and Harry, the films stars, filmmakers and invited celebs. The Empire hosted lucky members of the public seeing the film at the same time. Millions were spent on the event and party and it showed. The Squares garden had a 30 metre curved projection screen fitted for the spectacle. Garden premieres offer a choice for the visiting fan, garden or outside. The capturista's material is often best collected around the media line, so I elected for garden this time. We weren't allowed in till two o'clock. By that time the queue was massive, Id been out there wrapped up in three layers since 5:30am. My fanline neighbour was Meri from Tokyo, Japan who flew in just for this event arrived half an hour before I did. She's a big Daniel fan so to get his autograph was a dream come true. Then after a few minutes another dream come true when Prince William came over and shook her hand and spoke to her. Catch this in part 2 of this video. There were stars aplenty to compensate. Daniel Craig still with his broken signing paw was able to use that right hand a little to sign some pics and autographs along the fanline. The two leading ladies looked so lovely; Olga in red and Gemma in purple. Only Gemma could be persuaded to come to our part of the line. Dame Judi had so much media work that she couldnt come to our barrier. I heard from my fan-mates outside the garden that Olga and Judi did sign there. Producer Michael G Wilson, Director Marc Forster signed and others.
