The stars of "Downton Abbey" walked the red carpet in London Wednesday for one last time as the hugely successful English country house saga finally comes to an end.

Much of the original cast, including Hugh Bonneville, a pregnant Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter and Phyllis Logan, turned out for the world premiere of "Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale" in central London's Leicester Square.

They were joined by other cast members including "The Wire" star Dominic West and Joely Richardson, best known for the drama series "Nip/Tuck".

The film, which will be released in cinemas in France on September 10 and worldwide two days later, will be Downton's last outing following six seasons and two earlier films.
