Celebrating the life and hugely succesful career of Alan, the event was hosted by Mark Kermode and featured some of his most iconic moments on-screen and excerpts from his diaries.

Starting in the early ’90s, Alan wrote dozens of detailed handwritten journals - which have all been edited & condensed into a single volume to create the book Madly, Deeply: The Alan Rickman Diaries.
