There were disappointed Downton Abbey fans up and down the country today, as ITV made an announcement that the next series of the hit period drama would be the last.
While we can’t quite believe that we won’t get to hear any more of the Countess of Grantham’s one-liners, we’ve taken a look back at the success of the show that has brought history alive, made us fall in love with 1920s fashion again and gave us something to look forward to on Sundays.
Goodbye the Crawley family!
