2. Operation London Bridge
When the news breaks, the code "London Bridge is down" will trigger one of the most intricate and detailed funeral plans. Everything is already planned. There are different transportation plans depending on where the Queen will pass away. Nothing is left to chance. It is strange for us to plan our own funeral, but for royals, it is part of their service to their nation.

1. Prince Charles
The throne can’t be vacant. As soon as Queen Elizabeth’s death is confirmed, Charles will become the new English monarch. King Charles will address the nation on the evening of his mother’s death, and he will visit the home nations of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland to meet his people the next day. Despite the circumstances that brought her into the family, under current law his wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles, will become Queen Camilla.

Queen Elizabeth II is the world’s longest-reigning monarch, and it’s hard to imagine anyone else taking her place. She represents stability and order. But the Queen is in her nineties, the inevitable will happen, and the plans for this sad occasion are already in place.

Surprise
No, Tirion was not replaced. We bet you can’t find another dwarf like that in Vesteros.

However, we should note that throughout the series there were some significant changes to Tirion — starting from his beard and ending with the russet in his hair.

1. The Mountain
Throughout the series, The Mountain has been played by 3 actors. In season one, it was Australian actor Conan Stevens. He turned out to be too expensive and left Game of Thrones for The Hobbit. In season 2, he was replaced by stuntman Ian Whyte. And from season 4, he’s been played by professional strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.

2. Myrcella Baratheon
At first, Myrcella’s role was played by the Irish actress Aimee Richardson. Then her character disappeared for 2 seasons. In season 5, the role was given to Nell Tiger Free, for the same reason as Tommen’s replacement.

3. Night King
In seasons 4 and 5, Night King was played by Richard Brake. It was he who turned Craster’s son into a White Walker and commanded the army in Hardhome. Starting from season 6, he’s played by the Slovakian actor Vladimir Furdik.

4. Dickon Tarly
Freddie Stroma was playing Dickon in season 6, and it was planned that he would continue. However, because the actor was also filming Time After Time, he had to leave the show. This is how Tom Hopper became the face of House Tarly.

5. Selyse Baratheon
We only saw Sarah MacKeever as Stannis Baratheon’s wife in a single scene of season 2. Later, when Selyse was "promoted" to the main cast, the actress was changed to Tara Fitzgerald.

6. Tommen Baratheon
In the first 2 seasons, Cersei Lannister’s son was played by Callum Wharry. When his role was expanded in seasons 4 and 5, the creators of the show decided to change the boy for a more mature and experienced actor. Their choice fell on Dean-Charles Chapman (who played Martyn Lannister in season 3!).

7. Three-eyed Raven
The role of Three-eyed raven was first played by Struan Rodger, but he was never shown up close. In season 5, Oscar nominee Max von Sydow took his place, a decision the fans were happy with.

8. Beric Dondarrion

Australian actor David Michael Scott played Beric’s part in one scene in season one. Later, in season 3, he was replaced by Richard Dormer. No official reason was given.

9. Daario Naharis

In season 3, the role of Daenerys’s lover was played by the British actor Ed Skrein. Starting from season 4, this part has been played by the Dutch movie star Michiel Huisman. The official reason for Skrein leaving the series was him being too busy filming The Transporter Refueled. But Edward himself claims that he didn’t leave the show — it was a "behind-the-scenes decision."

Hope he won't be overshadow by fayose when he get there, as he was been overshadowed currently, this is even the first time I'm seen his pic, even lere is popular than him

1. Blue whale
The blue whale is the largest animal living on Earth today, and it is also the largest animal in Earth’s history. It reaches 33 meters in length and 150 tons in weight. By the 1960s, the blue whales were nearly all killed, with only 5,000 animals remaining. Today there are no more than 10,000 blue whales, and it is sheer joy to see one of them in nature.

2. Quetzalcoatl
Quetzalcoatl lived 66-68 million years ago. It was the largest pterosaur and the biggest flying animal in the planet’s history. The spread of its wings was 12-15 meters, and it fed on carrion and small vertebrates.

3. Gigantopithecus
Gigantopithecus was the largest ape of all time, and it lived about 1 million years ago. It is hard to make any certain conclusions based on the rare remains. However, scientists believe that a gigantopithecus was up to 4 meters in height, 550 kilos in weight, and ate mostly bamboo.

4. Giant short-faced bear
When a giant short-faced bear stood up on its hind legs, it could reach 4.5 meters in height. With its extra powerful jaws, it was one of the largest carnivorous mammals that lived on Earth during the Ice Age. These bears died out 14,000 years ago.

5. The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s biggest single structure made by living organisms. Located in the Coral Sea, it stretches for over 2,300 kilometers over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers.

6. Merostomes
Merostomes are the largest known arthropods. They could grow up to 2.5 meters, and they lived 248-510 million years ago.

7. The Humongous Fungus
Armillaria ostoyae (which is colloquially named the Humongous Fungus) is one of the largest living organisms on Earth. It covers 8.4 square kilometers in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon and is mostly hidden underground.

8. Giant deer
Irish elk, or giant deer, appeared about 2 million years ago. When forests started spreading into open spaces, giant deer died out because their large antlers (over 5 meters wide) made it impossible for them to move through dense branches.

9. Rafflesia
Rafflesia is the largest flower on Earth. It can reach over 100 centimeters in diameter. The flower is also known for its smell of rotting flesh.

10. The Paradise Cave
One of the caves in the Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park in Vietnam was named the biggest and most beautiful cave in the world. The biggest chamber is more than 5 kilometers long, 200 meters high, and 150 meters wide.

11. Argentavis
Argentavis lived 5-8 million years ago. It is one of the largest birds in Earth’s history. The spread of its wings could reach almost 7 meters, and it ate rodents.

12. Jackfruit
Jackfruit is the biggest tree-grown fruit in the world. It can reach 90 cm in length and 50 cm in diameter.

13. Titanoboa
Titanoboa is a close relative of a boa but so much bigger. Titanoboa lived 58-61 million years ago and could reach 13 meters in length. A reticulated python living on our planet nowadays can only grow up to 7.5 meters.

14. Amphicoelia
Amphicoelia is the biggest animal that ever lived on Earth. These herbivore dinosaurs lived 145-161 million years ago. They could reach 58 meters in length, and one vertebra of this animal was 2.5 meters.

15. Sequoia trees
Sequoia trees are the biggest living things on this planet (by volume). They can grow up to 275 feet tall and 26 feet in diameter.

There were times when the world was ruled by creatures much bigger than us — they were real prehistoric giants. But even today nature can surprise us with its huge creations.
