Game of Thrones fans worldwide have spent a long year waiting for this.

The new season of Game of Thrones finally returned to our screens, and people didn't know what to do with themselves.

There was excitement, there was joy and there was some confusion about that dodgy Ed Sheeran cameo.

The overall consensus was that it was a good episode, and people of Twitter were happy to welcome back Cersei and gang to their TV screen.

Don't worry - all tweets are spoiler free ;)

Game of Thrones was as amazing as expected, despite Ed Sheeran. Was surprisingly nice to not use Twitter, Insta, Reddit etc all day too
