LONDON, September 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

ground-breaking movie... The horse-drawn chariot contained two fans who had made their own
District costumes for the event, 16 year old Billie Anne Surrey from Stoke-on-Trent and 21
year old Ibtisam Ahmed from Nottingham, who relished the opportunity to get involved with
the stunt.
