Daniel Craig's last film as James Bond finally got its world premiere in London, 18 months later than planned, because it was delayed by the corona virus pandemic.
On Time To Die (No Time to Die) is the fifth and also the last film of the British actor in which he played the secret agent 007.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live on the red carpet, he said the role was "incredibly important to the history of cinema, and the weight of that has been on my shoulders for some time".
"I was incredibly lucky," he added.

The film arrives in British cinemas on Thursday, and it should start showing in theaters in Serbia from October 7.
The premiere date was postponed three times due to the corona virus pandemic.
James Bond films are among the most profitable film franchises in Hollywood.
The 2015 film "Spectre" earned $880 million at the worldwide box office, and the 2012 "Skyfall" surpassed $XNUMX billion.
Naomie Harris, who plays Bond sidekick Moneypenny, said it was an "emotional night" as Craig makes his last appearance as Agent 007.
"I really hope it draws people back to the theaters and they feel comfortable because this is a special movie," she said.
The premiere was also attended by members of the British royal family - Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince William and his wife Kate.
Cinema chain Odeon said it had sold more than 175.000 tickets by Monday, while Cineworld said it had the highest number of tickets booked since Avengers: Endgame (Avengers: Endgame) in 2019.
Producer Barbara Broccoli, who helms the franchise with co-producer Michael G. Wilson, said she won't begin thinking about Craig's replacement until next year.
"We're not thinking about it at all at the moment," she told the BBC Radio 4 program on Monday.
"We want Daniel to enjoy his moments of glory. Next year we will start thinking about the future."
