WARNING: STORY CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS
Game Of Thrones fans said they were “devastated” as they learned the fate of the Iron Throne in the last ever episode.
The eighth and final series of the fantasy drama came to an end in the UK on Monday night, with a dramatic last instalment that saw Jon Snow (Kit Harington) kill Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) by stabbing her through the heart.
Many disappointed viewers said they felt the fan favourite character deserved a better ending.
One posted on Twitter: “I began watching Game of Thrones in 2012 before the second season came out and ever since I’ve always rooted for Daenerys and honestly that season finale broke my heart.”

My heart is broken, I demand justice for Daenerys, the only one true character of GOT. D&D ruined the show. I'm so sick of this. And of course we ending up with a man on the throne, sexism never end obviously.
