If you are a Downton Abbey fan like me then you must have been pretty excited to finally get to see ‘The Grand Finale’. It premiered on the 12th of September.
We see Lord Grantham make a difficult decision; handing over the leadership of Downton Abbey to Lady Mary.
The two hour movie takes us through a lot of dramatic events and changes for the entire family. Somehow, everyone seems to be around in the for this final chapter,…except The Dowager Countess of Grantham of course.
I really missed the Dowager’s character. This was played by Maggie Smith. She passed away on the 27th day of September 2024. The movie was actually dedicated to her ‘loving memory’.
For a farewell, it was very well put together.
But is this really the Finale? A part of me hopes for more.
What becomes of Lady Mary? Will she be happy? Will she be lonely? Will the company of her two children be enough for her? Will she find love again? Or will she be too busy running the estate?
Whatever happens, I hope she excells at the new responsibility of Mistress of Downton Abbey.
Great thoughts on what sounds like a fabulous movie, Mimi.

Downton Abbey is a British period drama about the wealthy Crawley family and their servants as they navigate love, duty, and social change in early 20th-century England. It’s been on for some years
