On this day: Love Actually Celebrates 15th Anniversary

As the festive season approaches swiftly, it is the ideal time to commemorate the heart-warming feel-good film, Love Actually. The fan favourite film was released on this day 15 years ago to Irish audiences, and treasured ever since.

To celebrate the anniversary we look back at the 5 most memorable moments from the Christmas classic.

Hugh Grant - one of the UK's best Prime Ministers

It was a toss up between the iconic 'Jump' dance scene or this inspiring speech. Honestly, we've seen enough of dancing prime ministers this year. We're expecting Theresa "Dancing Queen" May to deliver a similar speech any minute now in attempts to resolve the Brexit disaster. Hugh Grant would never have this sort of problem on his hands...

Heartbreak and Joni Mitchell

It can't be all smiles and sunshine. That's the great thing about Love Actually, there's (some) depth. Joni Mitchell's track 'Both Sides Now' offers itself to this poignant part of the film. No matter how many times you've seen this film it is utterly impossible not to be moved to tears by Emma Thompson in this scene.

This hilarious Colin Firth moment

Jamie (Colin Firth) proposes to Aureila (Lúcia Moniz) giving us this charming moment between the two characters.

"To me, you are perfect"

Two words; cue cards. The ultimate gesture made in rom-com history. Every Christmas we answer the door disappointed when actual carol singers arrive.

The Reunion

Red Nose Day 2017 gave us the gift of Love Actually 2, a complete catch up with the cast. Of course some parts had to be updated. Now Billy Mac is shagging the Kardashians, PM David is dancing to 'Hotline Bling' and young Sam is all grown up and marrying Joanna, his first love. Watch the clip below.
