‘Downton Abbey’ fans have been offered a sneak peek at the final ever episode of the ITV drama.
Bosses have unveiled the trailer for the Christmas special, and there’s lots in store for the Crawley family before viewers bid them farewell for good.
The action is set on New Year's Eve in 1926, and jumps four months ahead from the season six finale, which aired last month.

There’s also a first look at Bertie Pelham’s mother, who is played by ‘Miranda’ star Patricia Hodge.
The ‘Downton Abbey’ Christmas special airs on Christmas Day at 8.45pm on ITV.
