'I am Eddard Stark. Lord of Winterfell and Hand of the King." Ned looked to sansa. "I come before you to confess my treason in the sight of gods and men. I betrayed the faith of my King and the trust of my friend Robert. I swore to protect and defend his children. But before his blood was cold I plotted to murder his son and seize the throne for myself." the crowd started yelling at him again, some throwing rocks at his head. "Let the high septon and Baelor the blessed bear witness to what I say. Joffrey Baratheon is the one true heir to the Iron Throne by the grace of all the Gods, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and protector of the Realm." The crowd once again started yelling at him. Sansa looked to Joffrey hopefully.
"As... As we sin..' pycelle continued seeing Joffrey loving the attention. 'So do we suffer. This man has confessed his crimes in sight of Gods and men. The Gods are just but beloved Baelor taught us they can also be merciful. What is to be done with this traitor, Your Grace?" Pycelle turned to Joffrey. Joffrey waved a hand settling the crowd.
"My mother wish me to let Lord Eddard join the Night's Watch. Stripped of all titles and powers he would serve the realm in permanent exile. And my Lady Sansa has begged mercy for her father." He turned to look at Sansa, she smiled just slightly. "But they have the soft hearts of women. So long as I am Your King treason shall never go unpunished. Ser Ilyn, bring me his head!" With that the crowd erupted into cheers. Sansa lunged forward but Sandor grabbed her, keeping her back. Ned looked to sansa again, an apologetic look on his face. As the sword was brought above his head, a single motion, swish, it was through his neck. Ned's head lay on the ground. Joffrey smiled down to it. Cersei stood confused as Sansa sobbed for her father, pulling at sandor's arms.

After the news of Ned Starks death everyone else was absolutely miserable. Rob sobbed at the death of his father then he got angry needing to hit someone, to kill every last Lannister. He swung his sword mercilessly at a tree trunk, tears flowing down his face. Odie heard his grunts and sobs as he smashed away.
'Robb... Robb..' Odetta called he was smashing mercilessly at a tree trunk tears in his eyes when he looked up to her. 'you have ruined your sword my love.' he dropped it at his feet before collapsing into her.
'I'll kill them all.' he said sobbing into Odetta 'every one of them I'll kill them all.' she held him close
'They have your sisters we have to get the girls back and then we will kill them all.' Odie agreed.

'After I kill your brothers army I'm going to give you his head as well.' Joffrey told Sansa as she was staring up at her father severed head.
'Or maybe he will give me yours.' Sansa threatened
