Game Of Thrones star, Andrew Dunbar has died suddenly in his home on Christmas Eve.

Andrew’s funeral is set to take place on Monday according to Belfast Live.

Pamela Smyth, Head of Crowd Makeup on the hit HBO fantasy series told the publication: ‘Even among the thousands of extras that came through the crowd room on Thrones – Andrew always stood out.’

Co-star and friend, Andy McClay, added: ‘Everyone always wanted Andrew. There was just something about him that was special. ‘People always felt good around him, happy, excited for the day’s work and there was always a lot of fun when he was around.’

Andy continued: ‘I’d say most of us felt the same when we came on set, we wanted Andrew to be there, we’d search him out. He was like a gel that kept us all together.

‘A lot of people plan to travel to attend his funeral; actors, directors, make-up and many, many more. Everyone who met Andrew loved him.

‘He did a lot of different things, including working as a Game of Thrones tour guide which he was brilliant at. He could have made it as a professional actor but he really wanted to do his art and DJ.’
