Stars from Game Of Thrones attended a party in Belfast on Saturday night (June 30) as filming on the series came to an end.
Masie Williams, Emilia Clarke, Iain Glen, Natalie Emmanuel and Alfie Allen were all at the party, as was the newly married Kit Harrington. Harrington married his co-star Rose Leslie just a week ago.
Also present was Ben Crompton, Isaac Hampstead-White, Jacob Anderson and John Bradley.
The setting mirrored something out of King’s Landing, with guests arriving to a flaming-torch lit Waterfront Hall next to the River Lagan in Belfast.
Last week, Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen posted on Instagram that she would miss her “home away from home” in Northern Ireland, where much of the series is filmed.
Clarke wrote: “Hopped on a boat to an island to say goodbye to the land that has been my home away from home for almost a decade. It’s been a trip @gameofthrones thank you for the life I never dreamed I’d be able to live and the family I’ll never stop missing.”
