The magic ice land of Narnia has been recreated in Belfast for the Irish premiere of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The first Irish screening of the story by Belfast-born author CS Lewis is set to raise about £100,000 for Queen's University's new library. The main building of Queen's was transformed into Narnia for a gala dinner afterwards. Guests at the premiere included Irish President Mary McAleese. [More]
