BUNCRANA'S Junk Kouture
team have described their shock and sadness at
learning of the death of Nelson Mandela on Thursday
night while attending the Royal premiere of the
biopic 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom'.
Elizabeth Curran and Troy Armour, models and guests
had earlier walked the red carpet in London with
celebrities and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,
William and Kate. |

Troy explained that
halfway through the film, Nelson Mandela’s daughters
were told the sad news. They were escorted from the
cinema but the premiere continued at their request.
"Like everyone at the premiere, we were deeply
stunned when we heard the news of Mandela’s passing.
The movie itself is an emotional rollercoaster and
at some points you felt one with him in his torments
as his family and freedom was torn from him bit by
bit.
"Somehow the news that he had just passed away made
it more so. The world lost one of its true heroes
and we are lucky to have this movie as some reminder
to people of how the man was and how his
perseverance changed a nation." |
