New James Bond movie Skyfall has reportedly filmed funeral scenes in Greenwich, London.
Producers started shooting today (Friday, January 6) at the Old Royal Naval College outside the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park, says Footprints of London.
"Eight coffins draped in union flags" sit in the Painted Hall, the website has claimed.
One onlooker wrote on Twitter: "Walked past eight hearses with flag draped coffins at the Chapel at the Old Royal Naval College. The funeral scene for the new James Bond."
Another fan said that Dame Judi Dench, who reprises her role as M in the movie, was attending the filming.
The official Skyfall 007 Twitter account has since posted a photograph of a clapperboard resting on what appears to be one of the coffins used for filming.
