The Tower of London will host the world premiere of the new series of hit fantasy TV show Game of Thrones next month.

Cast members including Londoners Natalie Dormer and Kit Harington will walk the red carpet surrounded by the landmark's famous ravens - birds which also play a key part in the series.

It will be the the first time the blood-soaked fantasy drama based on George RR Martin's books has staged its world premiere in Europe.

Zai Bennett, the director of Sky Atlantic which broadcasts the show, said: "Game of Thrones is the must see show of the year.

"I can't think of a more fitting venue to give what promises to be another unmissable series its big launch."

Ravens are used by Game of Thrones characters to carry messages across the fictional land of Westeros.

The eagerly-awaited fifth season will hit TV screens in the UK from April 13.
