- Story Text:When medieval drama "Game of Thrones" ended in May, many fans were left mourning the end of their favourite series. But they had another chance to indulge their passion at the "Throne Con" convention in Germany on Friday (September 27), where some of them donned fancy dress to meet actors from the hit HBO series.
Fans descended on Hanover airport for the star-studded event, where they had the chance to ask their heroes questions, take a selfie and bag an autograph.
Among the stars who showed up to delight fans were Kristian Nairn, who played Hodor, Ellie Kendrick, who played Meera Reet, and Natalia Tena, who played Osha.
"Game of Thrones", a fantasy about warring noble families, concluded its eight-season run in May. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
