They will then be greeted by the cinema manager and introduced to beneficiaries from the Film and TV Charity before moving into the auditorium to view the film.

When was Prince William become the president of BAFTA?
For the unfamiliar, Prince William became the fifth president of BAFTA on February 21, 2010.
He took over the role from Lord Attenborough, who served as president from 2002 to 2010.
His first official duty in this role was presenting the actress Vanessa Redgrave with the Academy Fellowship at the 2010 awards ceremony.
Tuesday's premiere will be hosted by Warner Bros. Pictures and the Film and TV Charity, and will be the 73rd Royal Film Performance delivered by the charity in its over 100-year history.
This appearance also marked their first since the royal return of Prince William's younger brother, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, six years after living in the USA.
Despite having the entertainment background of the Duchess of Sussex, who is now a former US actress, it is unclear whether she will attend the event or not.
