Now that’s a kingly entrance.
The Iron Throne was lowered via crane at the Tower of London for the Game of Thrones season 5 premiere. The HBO series will have its world premiere screening in London on Wednesday night. Zai Bennett, director of the U.K. television channel Sky Atlantic,reportedly told viewers: “Throughout its 1,000-year history, the Tower of London has been an iconic seat of power for English monarchs. As we lower the Iron Throne into the moat, ahead of Sky Atlantic’s world premiere of Game of Thrones, I’m proud that we can add our own seat of power to the Tower’s long and rich history.”
Maybe now the Queen of England will finally sit in it?
