After 15 years, Downton Abbey is set to come to an end.

It's taken six seasons, 52 episodes and two films - but this week the third film, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, hits cinemas and spells the final chapter for the worldwide phenomenon. 

Ahead of the release, three long time cast members, Laura Carmichael, Michelle Dockery and Joanne Froggatt discussed what the end of the series meant to them.

"It's for the fans, it's a beautiful tribute to Maggie - but it really is for the fans out there. And that just felt so good to give that one last story to everybody out there."
