"I feel like the ending will very much be like a feeling of loss, if that makes sense because it’s been ten years, which is crazy.

Game of Thrones has filmed in ten countries including Northern Ireland, Spain and Iceland.
There have been 50 filming locations in Ireland - 49 in Northern Ireland and one in the Republic of Ireland.
Titanic Studios in Belfast has been the main studio and post-production facility for all eight seasons.
The studios housed the interiors of Winterfell, Castle Black and the iconic King’s Landing Throne Room among others.
The series has used 12,986 extras in Northern Ireland alone.
For Irish viewers, the final episode of Game of Thrones premiers on Sky Atlantic at 2am tomorrow (Monday).
