Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3: Who dies in the battle at Winterfell? Fans say goodbye to some beloved characters

Game of Thrones season eight’s big battle episode has aired. In other words, a lot of characters were just killed off.

This weekend, fans got to see the episode that cast and crew have been teasing for what feels like aeons: the fight between the living and the dead.

At the end of last week’s outing, the White Walkers arrived at Winterfell ready to take down some of Westeros’s best-loved characters. Don’t forget that the HBO show has just four episodes left to go before coming to an end, so this new instalment was bound to cull a few key names.

Scroll through the below gallery to see who died in the battle at Winterfell.
