Michael Morpurgo, author of top selling book War Horse, was at Wimbledon Book Festival this morning along with legendary actress Virginia McKenna and mentioned that this week he’d been down on the set of the film of that book which Steven Spielberg is directing.

He was deeply impressed at seeing the filming of the cavalry charge coming out through the mist and, as someone who cares deeply about animals, was also very taken with the treatment of the animals and the knowledge and professionalism of the handlers brought in to look after them.

We posted some set photos from the movie earlier in the year which you can see here. If you have any more photos from the shoot, feel free to send them in tips@heyuguys.co.uk.
