“It’s a great honour that they have given up their time.” said Spielberg, who led a horse up the red carpet along with the stars of the film, set on the battlefields of World War I.

The royals arrived at the Leicester Square Odeon following a procession of the film’s stars and 600 servicemen and women who had been invited to attend the screening.
The fundraising event raised £300,000 for William and Harry’s Forces in Mind Trust which helps ex military personel re-adjust to civilian life.
Following the film, 100 special guests were invited to attend an after-party event at Buckingham Palace.
