The cinema chain said it was keen to honour one of Britain's brightest stars. Andy Edge, Commercial Director, ODEON said: "David Bowie had a glittering career and gave us decades of entertainment.

"We are honoured to celebrate his work with these special charity screenings. We hope as many guests as possible will join us to enjoy Labyrinth and help raise money for a fantastic cause."
