Also among the guests many actors of the cast such as Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, Michelle Dockery, Kevin Doyle, Allen Leech, Elizabeth McGovern (but not, unfortunately, the legendary Maggie Smith), and then the producers, the historical consultants, the costume designer, the set designer and many others.
