Central Legion & MIND

As with all cinema events, you do find that there are quiet times between the films. The morning did have this, but the afternoon was non stop busy!

This Princess had dressed up especially to come down to see all the Star Wars characters!! She was definitely the star of the show. And even joined in the group photos!
