Game of Thrones fever has well and truly taken over.

With only two more episodes left in the current season (it's seventh) Game of Thrones has never been more popular.

The HBO show is so big in fact, it's gotten it's very own tapestry.

The tapestry has been made in Belfast with key scenes from every episode being represented in each panel.

First there were the books, then the TV show and now there's the tapestry, and if you get a chance to visit Belfast over the next few months you need to see this to believe it.

The 66 metre long work is done in a medieval style, using some of the same techniques that were used on the famous Bayeux tapestry.

It's being housed in the Ulster Museum and so far features 160 famous scenes from the show with new ones being added every week as more episodes come out.

They even recreated this infamous scene....

A team of 30 women worked more than 1,000 hours to finish the embroidery and there are often fights over who gets to do some of the bigger scenes.

It took 4 people 7 hours to hang, and when it's done the tapestry will be the third longest in the world 

Today FM News reporter Sean Defoe joined Dermot & Dave and revealed what colour thread is used the most (no surprises here):
