Stars including Sophie Turner and Kit Harington traded Westeros for LA, as the seventh season of Game Of Thrones received a gala premiere on Wednesday. Phones were banned as the first episode of the penultimate series was screened at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, said the cast felt "very emotional" at the prospect of the show ending. "It feels like a death in the family [but] it's also exciting, and liberating," said the British star.

Emilia Clarke - who was absent from the premiere, due to filming commitments on the forthcoming Han Solo film - has also talked about the stress of concluding the series. "I get sleepless nights over it," she recently told Elle Magazine. "The higher everyone places the mantle, the bigger the fall. I don't want to disappoint anyone."
