Andy continued: "I'd say most of us felt the same when we came on set, we wanted Andrew to be there, we'd search him out. He was like a gel that kept us all together.
"A lot of people plan to travel to attend his funeral; actors, directors, make-up and many, many more. Everyone who met Andrew loved him.
"He did a lot of different things, including working as a Game of Thrones tour guide which he was brilliant at.
