Surrey charity screening announced for `Quantum of Solace`

A special charity screening of the new James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" is being held in a Surrey town to raise money for wounded soldiers - reports the BBC.

The Mayor and Mayoress of Reigate will host the event at the Screen Cinema in Bancroft Road on 31 October, the day the 22nd Bond film hits UK cinemas.

Money raised will go to Help for Heroes charity, that helps military personnel wounded in Britain's current conflicts.

The Mayor, Roger Newstead, said it was a chance to help a great cause.

Councillor Newstead added: "The charity screening of the film is an opportunity to see it on its release date and to help a great cause."

Princes William and Harry have asked for proceeds from the world premiere in Leicester Square on 29 October to go towards Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.

Since its launch in October 2007, Help for Heroes has raised £6m for wounded servicemen and women.
