After more than 50 years, never-before-seen footage from the filming of the 1963 movie 'The Great Escape', starring Steve McQueen, has been unearthed.

The behind-the-scenes footage shows the famous motorcycle escape by Hilts (played by Steve McQueen) from a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany.

The video was released by Tim Gibbes, now 85, who worked as a stuntman on the film.

Mr Gibbes, the last-surviving stuntman from the movie, will attend a commemorative screening on the 75th anniversary of The Great Escape, as part of The Great Escape with Dan Snow event at the Hammersmith Apollo which will be broadcast live in theatres around the country.
