After eight years of bickering and teasing, counselling and comforting, and innumerable dating highs and lows, those always loving - and entertaining - friends Will and Grace have bid farewell to US audiences.

Will & Grace has won a string of Emmys since its arrival in 1998
The show, which has been widely credited with bringing gay television characters out of the closet, concluded with a tear-jerking finale that looked to the future.
The final episode was preceded by a montage of bloopers and sentimental reflections on the sitcom by its actors.
"I'm proud of being a part of something in history and I'm proud to have been given a platform to make people laugh," says Sean Hayes, who played Jack.
Eric McCormack (Will) adds: "We have never taken ourselves or this show too seriously but now that it's over I take our collective achievement very, very seriously."
