And Hucknall’s screening will have a special element to it with Hucknall men Andrew Hayward and Daniel Edson, who took part in the Olympic torch relay at the time will be guests at the High Street venue on the night.

Mark Gallagher, cinema manager, said: “To help us promote the film I managed to track down two 2012 Olympic Torch Relay runners from Hucknall.

"They have both been invited to attend the charity screening and bring their torches for customers to have photos with.
