Show-writer and creator Stephen Knight, who recently revealed he is penning a Peaky Blinders film, then joined the wider ensemble for a quick snap.

Alongside him were Finn Cole, who plays Michael Gray, and Birmingham-born poet

Irish actor Ned Dennehy also joined the group shot, alongside Finn Shelby actor Harry Kirton.

The sixth and final season of the hugely popular BBC series is due to hit the screens on Sunday (February 27) evening.

It will be the first series of the show not to feature Helen McCrory, who played Polly Gray, following her death from cancer in April of last year.

Meanwhile, bookies are predicting the show’s star Tommy, played by Cillian Murphy, 45, will be killed off in the final series.

Sadly the actor was unable to attend the premiere due to filming commitments in Mexico.

The actor is also being tipped to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.
