A message from the Duke of Cambridge was shared in the programme given out at the Top Gun premiere, and was shared by royal correspondent Omid Scobie.

The extract reads: "Catherine and I are delighted to be attending The Royal Film Performance 2022 to mark the much-anticipated UK release of Top Gun: Maverick.

"The Film and TV Charity, of which Her Majesty The Queen is Patron, has hosted Royal Film Premieres since 1946 when Powell and Pressburger's classic, A Matter Of Life And Death, made its cinematic debut.

"Whilst the film, television and cinema industries have changed dramatically since then, this special occasion has remained constant in its aim to raise vital funds to help provide support to people working in those industries."

It continued: "None more so than during the pandemic when, thanks to the generosity of individuals and organisations, the charity helped more than 10,000 people, many of whom lost their livelihoods."
