“It’s really moving. We were so aware with this [film] that it’s saying goodbye,” said the actor. “I certainly felt that there was a bit of pressure with this one. It had to be fitting to say goodbye.<\/p>\n

“It had to be bigger and better and satisfying to fans of the show, and also fun to anyone who hasn’t seen Downton. It’s true escapism, a real adventure for the family and leaves them all in a really great place.”<\/p>\n

Downton Abbey Celebrates The Grand Finale is streaming now on ITVX. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is out now in cinemas.<\/p>\n
