THE name's Bond, James Bond. To celebrate the centenary of author Ian Fleming's birth, the Imperial War Museum London is producing the first major exhibition devoted to all things 007.

For Your Eyes Only will examine the fact and fiction behind the super spy who eliminated an impressive line-up of villains while on Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Fleming drew on his own wartime exploits and work as a journalist to create the iconic secret agent, and the show asks just how many of Bond's adventures were imaginary, and how much real derring do.

Among the items on display will be the blood-spattered shirt worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, Rosa Klebb's deadly shoes as seen in From Russia With Love, and Halle Berry's famous bikini (pictured right) from Die Another Day.

There will be Fleming's annotated Bond manuscripts and the author's own Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver. Wonder how 007 got that Walther PPK...?

The show runs from now until March 1 next year, and is expected to be hugely popular, so plan your visit early.
