Vampire Diaries: Ian Somerhalder posts farewell as the last person to leave set 

, and many members of the cast and crew marked the occasion with photos from the day, including Paul Wesley posting one final shot of the Salvatore brothers with Damon’s Camaro.

But it was Ian Somerhalder who was the last to leave Mystic Falls in the early hours of the morning. Somerhalder posted a shot of himself leaving his dressing room to say goodbye and thank the cast, crew, and the fans for eight years of memories.

That's an official wrap on the Vampire Diaries. From the 1st day to the last night… I was the last to leave our stages early this morning, not a single crew member, not a sound. To the fans, thank you for it all we would have never been on this journey without you. To all who made this show possible- we did it. 8 years, wow. Thank you all. Love, Ian
