Downton Abbey Cast Leaves Us Misty Eyed With Last On-Set Photos

The time is almost upon us to bid farewell to the smash-hit series Downton Abbey,  and I, for one, am so NOT ready.

The series, which follows the lives of a noble British family, as well as their servants, has taken the world by storm for the past five seasons. And, when it was announced that the upcoming sixth season would be its last, fans were understandably distraught. The rumor that a movie may be following the final season helped make the bitter pill a bit easier to swallow… but only just a bit.

Throughout the entire filming of the sixth season, the stars of the show, both in front of and behind the scenes, have been sharing photos via social media. Take a look at some of the snaps below, and let the stocking of the tissues commence.

It’s hard to believe it’s really over, but thanks to Netflix and all of its counterparts, The Crawleys are always but a click away.

Thanks for an amazing six seasons, Downton  cast; you won’t soon be forgotten.
