LONDON -- The second most famous Jon Snow in the world just sat on the Iron Throne, and it was every bit as special as we knew it would be.

Channel 4 News presenter and all-round hero Jon Snow tweeted a picture of himself sat on the throne on Thursday morning. The caption reads: "Winter really MUST be coming!"

Unsurprisingly, the British public approved.

Jon Snow is no stranger to Game of Thrones, having interviewed the other Jon Snow (a.k.a. Kit Harington) last year about everything from Harington's acting career to their shared names.

He's officially the first Jon Snow to sit on the Iron Throne. The question is, will he be the last?
