Mayor of Christchurch, Garry Moore will have two very special guests on his Mayoral Forum walk-about in Cathedral Square

King at the 2004 Academy Awards.
Shortly before the walk-about at noon, The Mayor will host a reception for Hammond and others around Canterbury who
worked on the Lord Of The Rings film trilogy. Notable amongst those are the Christchurch actors Michael Elsworth who was
the body double for Gandalf and Brett Beattie who was the double for Gimli. Cooper (barrel maker) at Ferrymead, David

next opus ...King Kong.
