The final film in Sir Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy premiered in London this morning, and at the same time there was a special advanced screening at the Roxy Cinema in Wellington.
It's the sixth and final instalment of the films based on JRR Tolkien's books, and marks the end of a 15-year journey.

They included Weta producer and editor Jamie Selkirk, founder of the Tolkien Society of NZ Jack Machiela, Weta Workshop costume head Bob Buck, Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown and Weta Workshop founder Sir Richard Taylor.
