The royal film performance and world premiere of Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones was missing one important person - Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen selected The Lovely Bones to screen at the royal performance in London this morning. It is the one time a year the monarch gets to officially visit the cinema.

However, the Queen did not take her place at the sold out Odeon in Leicester Square.

The royal family was instead represented by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

They were joined on the red carpet by Jackson, and the stars of the film including Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci and Saoirse Ronan.

The first reviews of the movie, based on a novel by Alice Sebold, are expected over the next few hours.
