Seniors Recreate ‘Downton Abbey’ Scenes That Even The Dowager Countess Would Love
The residents of North Carolina’s Carolina Meadows Retirement Community, many of whom are dedicated watchers of the hit series, decided to participate in their local public television channel, UNC-TV‘s, annual fundraiser by supporting their favorite show.
The residents came up with the idea of a photo shoot and were showered with community support for the three-month project, receiving costumes and tuxedos, free of charge, and also the help of photographer Jack Benjamin. They spent countless hours trying to get every detail right, even making handmade jewelry and touching up an antique car to match the period.
