James Dunley, 22, and his dad Arthur travelled from Telford, Shropshire, to take part.

James said being amongst fans made the event exciting.

“I’m Irish so I share that connection with Cillian and I’m told that I have similar features as him as well,” he said.

“I’m more here for the fans, the excitement and just meeting everybody.

“I became a huge fan of the show after people kept telling me I looked like Tommy.”

The series, which ran from 2013 to 2022, followed the escapades of a Birmingham crime gang in the years after World War One.

Now a Peaky Blinders film is coming to Netflix, with Oscar winner Murphy set to step back into his role as everyone’s favourite Brummie gangster.
