The Buffy crew completed filming of the show's seventh - and final - season last week - and threw a party to celebrate.

"It was very, very bittersweet, an emotional day for everyone," Alyson Hannigan told reporters. "Lots of tears, lots of hugs. It was great, though."

An impressive turnout for the party saw current stars Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, Anthony Head, Tom Lenk, Danny Strong and James Marsters reunite with old favourites Amber Benson, Juliet Landau, Seth Green and Julie Benz

"I felt really odd," said Tony Head. "It was like saying goodbye to a very, very, very old friend. And at the same time, you knew that it wasn't goodbye. And you knew that there was more life in it, and I'm going to see these guys. It's what it is. It's come to the right time and place."
