DAENERYS Targaryen, Jon Snow and Arya Stark are among Game Of Thrones characters that will feature on a new series of stamps.
They are among 10 main protagonists from the hit HBO fantasy programme, based on the books by George RR Martin, who feature in the set that goes on sale on January 23.
The set of 15 first class stamps is being released to highlight British contributions to the series.
The seven series so far have been extensively filmed in Northern Ireland with a predominantly British and Irish cast.
As well as those played by Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington and Maisie Williams, the roll-call of Westeros characters includes Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance), Eddard Stark (Sean Bean), Olenna Tyrell (Dame Diana Rigg), Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) and Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).
There is also a five-stamp sheet featuring the Night King and his White Walkers, giants, direwolves and dragons, and the Iron Throne.
The collection’s release comes ahead of the eighth and final series, which is currently in production.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
