Downton Abbey Stars Shine at World Premiere in London [PHOTOS]

It’s been nearly four agonizing years since we last saw our favorite British aristocratic family, whose members became so dear to us over the six seasons that Downton Abbey aired on ITV and PBS Masterpiece that when we said our final goodbyes to our beloved Crawlys and their loyal servants on Christmas Day 2015 it was like losing a family member. To help ease our pain, talk almost immediately began of a hoped-for feature film. Fast forward to tonight, Leicester Square London – where most of our favorite faces came out to celebrate the long awaited premiere of Downton Abbey – The Movie!

It was hard to beat the glamour and overall gorgeousness of the Crawly ladies as Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary), Elizabeth McGovern (Lady Cora) and Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith) dazzled the fans that had gathered in hopes of catching a glimpse of their favorite Downton stars.

As elegant and regal as the lady herself, Elizabeth McGovern.

Everyone cheered when Dame Maggie Smith appeared! Not one to normally frequent red carpets or awards events, it was a special treat to see our favorite sassy one-liner spewing Crawly, The Dowager Countess of Grantham herself!

Lord Grantham has arrived! Hugh Bonneville with his lovely wife, Lulu Williams.

It was a beautiful reunion for the Downton Abbey cast. You could see the excitement on their faces. Sadly, Joanne Froggatt (Anna Bates) had Tweeted earlier that she was in Australia filming and could not make it. Brendan Coyle (Mr. Bates) also Tweeted good luck wishes to the cast, which indicated he would also be missing the festivities.
