Deets: Ahead of the highly anticipated return of the world's most talked about show, the World Premiere of Game of Thrones was held in London for the first time. The star-studded red carpet event took place at one of Britain's most recognisable and historic locations, theTower of London.
The World Premiere, on the evening of 18th March, welcomed a host of Game of Thrones stars, and marked the first time that the world premiere was held in Europe.
Since launching in 2011, Game of Thrones has become a bona fide TV phenomenon, keeping viewers guessing with a string of headline-making twists and turns and, as is tradition, the producers are keeping tight-lipped about what's to come. Respecting the impenetrable cloak of secrecy that shrouds the show, there couldn't be a more fitting venue than the high-security home of the Crown Jewels, one of the world's most famous fortresses, to showcase the opening episode of Season Five for the first time anywhere.
Spotted: Emilia Clarke, Richard Plepler, Peter Dinklage, David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Lena Headey, Jack Gleeson, Alexander Siddig, DeObia Oparei, Toby Sebastian, Nell Tiger Free, Jessica Henwick, Michael Lombardo, Nikolag Coster-Waldau, Kit Harrington, Natalie Dormer, Sophie Turner, Gwendoline Christie, Alfie Allen, Rose Leslie, Catric van houten, Sibel Kekilli, Richard Madden
