STARS from some of film and TV's biggest hits were among the draws at a comic convention in Keighley today.

Ross Mullan – White Walker from Game of Thrones – and Michael Henbury, of Harry Potter and Star Wars movie fame, were both guests at the event.

Snow and freezing temperatures failed to deter people from across the country from travelling to Victoria Hall for the convention, the second of its kind to be held in the town.

People of all ages, many in costume, packed into the hall to enjoy a huge range of attractions.

There were superheroes and sci-fi characters, displays from movies and TV series, interactive games and competitions.

A 30ft Stay Puft Marshmallow Man – from the Ghostbusters movies – and a smoke-breathing dragon mingled with the crowds.

Batman's motorbike was on show, there were magic shows and pirates, balloon modelling, Lego and a themed travelling tea party.

Several acclaimed authors were signing and selling their books, and around 40 trade stalls offered a mixture of merchandise, artwork, toys and collectables.

And despite the weather, a bungee trampoline was set-up outside.

Mr Mullan, originally from Canada but who is now London-based, said he loved attending conventions.

Although perhaps best known for Game of Thrones, his other credits include Dr Who and Clash of the Titans.

"People invite me to conventions and I just love coming along!" he said.

"It's a great opportunity to meet the fans.

"When you work in the theatre your audience is there with you, but of course it's very different with film and television.

"This is a chance to meet the people who enjoy your performances on screen.

"I attend a lot of conventions all over the world and each one is different.

"The response here has been great."

Mr Henbury, Gringott's Goblin in Harry Potter, has numerous other films under his belt including Star Wars: Episode VI-Return of the Jedi and Labyrinth.

He also travels to conventions across the world.

"It's really taken off in the last four years or so," said Southampton-based Mr Henbury.

"I love meeting the fans.

"When you consider the weather, the turnout here at Keighley has been excellent."

Keighley Com Con was organised by Allie Gosney, who said she was delighted with the response.

"There's a really good range of family attractions with lots of different things for people to see and do," she said.

"I actually write books but I started going to comic conventions about three years ago and loved them.

"I thought they were a really good idea."

Allie has now organised 11 herself, and has eight more lined up this year.

"The conventions vary in size but they have a big following – they're very popular with families and children," she added.
