Medway's starring role in a film adaptation of one of the world's most popular musicals hits the big screen today.

The feature film Les Miserables - partly filmed in Chatham's Historic Dockyard - can now be seen in cinemas across the UK.

The big screen blockbuster, starring Hollywood hunks Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, is based on Victor Hugo's tale of tragedy and redemption in early 19th Century France.

The star-studded cast - also featuring Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried and Helena Bonham Carter - descended on the Historic Dockyard in March last year to film the eagerly-anticipated movie.
