The cast of 鈥淕ame of Thrones鈥� pulled out all the stops for one of their oldest fans.
Claire Walton, an 88-year-old hospice patient from Rhode Island, was one of the most loyal viewers of the HBO show, 鈥淕ame of Thrones.鈥�
Walton鈥檚 self-described 鈥渇ar-fetched鈥� wish had long been to meet the cast of her favourite show, but she had recently decided just being able to watch the third episode of the last season would be a dream-come-true, according to .
So the personalized, heartfelt video messages she received from ten members of the cast were a big surprise.
Among those who reached out were the actors who play Ser Davos Seaworth, Syrio Forel, Kingsguard Ser Meryn Trant, Dothraki warrior Qhono and even a White Walker.
In his video, actor Liam Cunningham, who plays one of Jon Snow鈥檚 most trusted advisers, appears in regular clothing and not his usual garb typical of the fictional world of Westeros.
"How are you doing Claire? It's Liam here," he said in his selfie video. "I wish you the very best. I hope your days are not bad and I hope you can manage."
Actor Miltos Yerolemou, who plays the First Sword of Braavos and Arya Stark's 鈥渄ance鈥� teacher, shared his warm thoughts and hoped they would make Walton smile.
"I know you can't be here today, but I just wanted to say hello, and that you are with us in spirit and that we're thinking of you and sending you all our love," he said.
Even Ian Beattie, who plays 鈥渘asty old Ser Meryn Trant,鈥� had a heartfelt message for Walton.
"I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful episode three, the 鈥楤attle of Winterfell,鈥�" he said. "I hear it's going to be the best episode ever."
Because they weren鈥檛 wearing their Game of Thrones costumes, some of the actors were slightly less recognizable than the characters they play on the show.
And this was more apparent with actors such as Staz Nair, who plays the Khaleesi's bodyguard Qhono, and had a tough time describing his character.
鈥淚magine a beard. A beard, long hair and a horse," Nair said, laughing. "I just want to say thank you for watching. Thank you for being a fan. And I want to wish you a very smooth transition. I wish you all the best."
The episode 鈥淏attle of Winterfell鈥� aired on Sunday night. Walton died Monday evening, surrounded by family.
