After two years of delays the World Premiere of No Time To Die took place at The Royal Albert Hall in London on 28th September. Cast members Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Rory Kinnear, Ana de Armas, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah were in attendance, alongside director Cary Joji Fukunaga, composer Hans Zimmer, and ‘No Time To Die’ performers Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell. They joined Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the premiere of the 25th Bond film, which benefited charities supporting serving and former members of the three intelligence agencies (the Secret Intelligence Service, the Security Service and GCHQ). |

Due to COVID-19 protocols there was no public access for non-ticket holders to view the premiere on the night, and as such the event was a somewhat scaled-down occasion. The red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall in London was one of 57 screenings of No Time To Die taking place across the globe. Fans around the world were treated to unique viewings of the long-awaited 25th James Bond film. |

James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 and V8 Volante featured in No Time To Die; along with a bullet-riddled version of the DB5 and a Triumph Scrambler motorcycle were also on display on the red carpet, which featured a huge 007 logo sculpture emblazoned with Union Jack colours. The sculpture has been on display in London's Leicester Square during the week leading up to the premiere. |
