Game Of Thrones Backdrop Wrecked By Storm

Storm Gertrude has wrecked a spectacular tree-lined avenue which was a backdrop for the hit fantasy drama Game Of Thrones.

Several trees making up the famous Dark Hedges in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, came down in the high winds.

Thousands of homes and businesses have been left without power across the UK after being ravaged by Storm Gertrude.

The beech trees were planted in the 18th century by a local family, the Stuarts, with the intention of creating an impressive entrance to their nearby Georgian mansion, Gracehill House.

They are one of the most photographed natural landmarks on the island of Ireland.
