Children dressed as James Bond in tuxedos and black ties to mark the unveiling of Worthing's latest cinema screen.

The Edwardian Dome cinema spent about £75,000 on a new upstairs cinema, which can seat 118 people.

Deputy Mayor Valerie Sutton cut a ribbon to officially open the facility before invited guests watched the new James Bond epic Die Another Day, and a Charlie Chaplin short called The Rink.

History has now come full circle for the Dome because the original cinema, dating back to before the First World War, was also upstairs.

The Dome now boasts two screens, which will generate income towards a £300,000 appeal to renovate the listed seafront landmark.

Once the £300,000 is raised, it will unlock a further £1.75 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund towards the total restoration of the building.

While constructing the new screen, builders discovered some of the original ornate decoration, which was blue and gold.

The projection equipment was bought with a £16,000 grant from Southern and South East Arts, while the seats were salvaged from the now defunct Museum of the Moving Image in London.

Before the Bond film was shown, James Stennett and George Salmon, who did much of the work, were presented with gold-painted hammers to mark their contribution.
