"Stop that noise, I can't hear myself die!" the Dowager Countess had the best lines till her very last! But no new Downton movie will be the same without her! Love Maggie Smith!

I wish they'd do a prequel showing the dowagers life. I think it would be great as she's such a character

[PearlsandRoses]

So many people would give anything to go out the way she did: old, in her right mind, physically comfortable, surrounded by so much love, and speaking truth.

This part made me cry ..because I really love Maggie Smith...in the part she plays in Downton Abbey as the Dowager countess of Grantham because she was a great part of the series 💙 thank God Maggie Smith is still with us....

For me, The Dowager Countess was the biggest character in this great story.
I love her very very much.

The scene where Isobel sits alone on the bench kills me every time. She and the Dowager Countess may have butt heads constantly, but they really were the best of friends.

I love the relationship between Carson and Mary. It goes beyond Lady and servant. He's become a surrogate father and confidante.

The Dowager was my favorite character in the show. There was no better choice than Dame Maggie Smith.

We, the viewers, mourned along side of the other characters. Noone could have pulled that character off like Dame Maggie Smith!

[wanderlust]

Her last words... "stop that noise, I can't hear myself die" were perfect. I cried because of the reality, one day soon beloved Maggie Smith will pass...

[dreamsteddybearsmaster]

OMG Edith & Mary have definitely come a long way in their relationship... comforting & hugging each other when their beloved Granny passes away. Also adorable how Elsie calls Carson 'Charlie" instead of Charles

[ravenclawtower]

Seeing Mrs. Pattmore cry made me teary eyed. It was more than likely the Dowager that hired her, brought her into the Downtown family. 💕

It’s 2024 and it still hits in the heart

[CathyHendrix]

I so wanted The Dowager and Isobell to have a few last words. I loved their interaction all through the show.

[broadwaybrook]

My mom and I saw this film in theaters with some friends, and during this scene, I whispered to my mom, "She's gone to join Matthew and Sybil, " and my mom thought that was a very tender way to look at it.

[mollylea]

I loved how we saw the servants who had been at Downton the longest grieving just as the family did!

[brendettmiles]

Downton Abbey I'll never be the same without Maggie Smith❤😢❤

[davidhutchinson]

To my way of thinking, best way to go. Surrounded by family and close friends.

[AnnieDuerre]

This is a very sad scene! Maggie Smith is wonderful and she made the Dowager character such an icon

[odysseusrex]

One of the finest characters ever created for television, portrayed by one of the finest actresses ever. Oh, it's going to be a sad day when Dame Maggie really does leave us.
