The eighth and final series of Game of Thrones is well underway.
And fans of the beloved HBO fantasy drama have been given a behind-the-scenes look at the show as its stars continue to share candid shots taken from the set.
The photographs, snapped and shared throughout the show's eight seasons, capture moments of hilarity on set as the actors and actresses get up to mischief between takes.

From a snap taken on Maisie Williams' very first day on set to a picture of Lena Heady being fitted with a wig cap - the candid shots capture a side to the dark drama fans had only seen glimpses of before.
In one shot, taken from the scene in which sisters Arya (Maisie) and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) reunite after years apart, the younger of the two posed behind Sophie as she smoothed her costume.
Another caught the three Lannister siblings - Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), Cersei (Lena Heady) and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) - pose for a silly snap in full costume.
And Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, was spotted cuddling up to a dog as she hung out on set during takes.

The snaps come as Kit Harington, 32, revealed he used to quietly go and 'sit on the throne for a minute or two' when he wasn't needed on set.
The actor - whose character is in the running to take the iconic seat at the end of season eight - has never been required to shoot a scene in the throne room at King's Landing, but it's still his favourite of the programme's sets.
He said: 'Whenever I'm working in the studios, I'll go and just quietly have a look in there and sit on the throne for a minute or two.'
But his co-star Lena Headey, who portrays Queen Cersei, isn't so keen, admitting: '[The throne is] really uncomfy, so that's not my favourite.'
