Thousands of fans lined the red carpet for a chance to chat to James Bond star Daniel Craig and his "Skyfall" co-stars as they entered the Royal Albert Hall for London's long-awaited Royal Premiere with His Royal Highness Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. Once seated, a brass band played a Bond theme medley and the Royal couple walked the red carpet. The 007 producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli took to the stage to thank the attendees. Wilson confirmed that the evenings proceedings raised £300,000+ for the Prince's charities. After the producers' comments, Mendes introduced his cast and thanked them. He concluded by noting that, "Tonight, Bond belongs to everyone."
