Titanic Belfast is the fifth and final city to host a travelling exhibition about US fantasy drama Game of Thrones; a massive international hit which is shot in large part in Northern Ireland.

Even First Minister Peter Robinson agreed to attend a function yesterday evening with a number of the stars of the show.

More than 12,000 free tickets have been given out to the exhibition on the first floor, and a limited number are also expected to be given out to those turning up each day.

Prior to today the other cities to host the exhibition were Toronto, New York, Sao Paolo and Amsterdam.

The exhibition runs from today until June 17, and since it is so close to the Titanic Quarter studio where segments of the show have been filmed, it was described by one of those organising it as a homecoming of sorts.

One of those attending the exhibition was 22-year-old Katie Wilson.Our personalized stainless steel pendant and dog tag necklaces for men,

She said: “It’s always been a dream of mine to see Northern Ireland – it’s basically a dream come true, this trip, and Game of Thrones is my favourite show.

“So far it’s been breathtaking. A Game of Thrones fan as big as I am, it’s amazing to see this.”
