After nine-years, eight seasons and hundreds of brutal deaths it was never going to please everyone, and the Game Of Thrones finale inevitably divided fans after it aired on Monday morning. 

The sixth and final episode in its much vaunted farewell season concluded with the expected death of Daenerys Targaryen, the surprise anointment of crippled Bran Stark to king of Westeros and the rather symbolic destruction of the Iron Throne. 

Elsewhere Sansa Stark was declared Queen in the North, with Winterfell maintaining its traditional independence  - making Bran the 'lord of the Six Kingdoms and the protector of the realm.'
