London Film Festival 2009

Cor blimey, where has the time gone? The Times BFI 53rd London Film Festival closed last night with a perfectly British send off in the form of the world premiere of Nowhere Boy, a drama about the teenage years of John Lennon.

The film marks Sam Taylor-Wood’s directorial debut and she graced the red-carpet in a beautiful gold gown, accompanied by the film’s lead actor – who’s also now her boyfriend – 19 year-old Aaron Johnson.

Of course we were there to report on all the glamour, plus take a look at why the London Film Festival is so special.
