Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is the 2025 historical drama film directed by Simon Curtis, with the screenplay by Downton Abbey’s creator, Julian Fellowes. It is the sequel to Downton Abbey: A New Era, released in 2022, and the third and final film in the Downton Abbey film series. Many of the original cast members, who also appeared in the previous two films, return to this production. Paul Giamatti and Dominic West reprise their roles as Harold Levinson from the television series and Guy Dexter from the previous film, respectively, while Joely Richardson, Alessandro Nivola, Simon Russell Beale and Arty Froushan join the cast. The film was warmly received as indicated by website Rotten Tomatoes, where 91% of 144 critics’ reviews were positive. The website’s consensus reads: “Soothing as a cup of tea while providing a satisfying amount of closure, The Grand Finale is a worthy sendoff for Downton Abbey.”

Remembrance Sunday 2025

Remembering 80 years on from the end of World War II

The annual service of Remembrance was held on Remembrance Sunday with over 60 people, including youngsters with their families attending.

Service led by Rev Martin Hathaway followed the Royal British Legion service with readings from the Old and New Testament. In Martin’s address, he considered the word ‘Remember’ its meaning. He reminded us that this year marks a special anniversary, 80 years since the end of World War II – and that many of the survivors of that conflict are passing on. He felt it was even more important than ever to hear their stories while we can.

The Act of Remembrance took place in the Lady Chapel, which has become St Peter’s informal area for remembrance. The names of the fallen from The Langtons were read here and the wreaths for each village memorial blessed.

The Last Post played and followed by the two-minute silence. Reveille sounded to mark the closing part of the service.

After the blessings at the conclusion of the service, the congregation processed to the Village Green to lay Church Langton’s wreath.

The churchwardens from Tur and Thorpe Langton respectively, took their wreaths home to lay on their village memorials.

All proceeds from this service will be forwarded on behalf of the Langtons to support Harborough’s branch of the Royal British Legion.
