Polish that silver and call the footmen — Downton Abbey is back! While it might not be as monumental as the Queen visiting Downton (ok, so sue us, it’s probably a bigger deal!), it is a reason to celebrate. Downton Abbey heralded its return, this time on the big screen (Sept. 20 in the U.S.) with a star-studded London premiere that saw everyone from Mrs. Hughes to Lady Mary donning their finery and strutting their stuff on the red carpet.
