The Royal Performance of Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom could not have fallen on a more appropriate date. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived with stars Idris Elba and Naomie Harris in tow, walking the red carpet to honour the man of the hour – Nelson Mandela. Unbeknown to the talent, news of Nelson Mandela’s death had just started to spread. A sombre piece of news, but the evening proved a fitting tribute to the legend himself – Mandela.
