Game Of Thrones exhibition in Northern Ireland launched

Game Of Thrones fans will have the chance to see the show's famous throne as part of a major new exhibition.

Several stars of the fantasy HBO series returned to Northern Ireland, where much of the filming took place, to launch the attraction which gives visitors a look behind the elaborate scenes, and the opportunity to see the Iron Throne close up.

Isaac Hempstead Wright who plays Bran Stark, Ian Beattie who plays Meryn Trant and Liam Cunningham who plays Davos Seaworth were reunited on Wednesday for the occasion, almost a year after filming wrapped last year.

Cunningham expressed his pleasure to be back in Belfast's Titanic Quarter, the location of Painthall Studios where most of the show's indoor scenes were filmed, and where the exhibition is now sited, describing it as having been home to him and the rest of the cast for over 10 years.

Beattie described the day he was cast in the series as the "luckiest of his life", as he got to take part in a major show in his home city.

The Game Of Thrones Touring Exhibition, which opens to the public in Belfast on Thursday, includes costumes, authentic props and settings from all seven seasons of the show.

It comes just ahead of the premiere of the eighth and final season of the show.

Game Of Thrones star Liam Cunningham said he had an emotional moment when he hung up his costume as filming on the final series came to an end last year.

At the opening of the touring exhibition in Belfast, he also remarked on the transformation in Northern Ireland's tourism industry, referring to meeting a young American couple on honeymoon recently in the city centre.

The actor, who plays Davos Seaworth, said: "Who would have said 10 years ago that Belfast was a honeymoon location, but it is."

The exhibition will run at Titanic Exhibition Centre from April 11 until September 1.
