Summary
- Lorna Luft celebrated her 30th anniversary with husband Colin Freeman.
- Their wedding took place at Highclere Castle, Downton Abbey's filming location.
- Highclere Castle gained fame after being featured in the popular TV series.
Lorna Luft, daughter of Hollywood legend Judy Garland, recently celebrated her 30th wedding anniversary with husband Colin Freeman. The couple exchanged vows at the now-iconic Highclere Castle in England.
Thirty years ago, when Luft and Freeman married, Highclere Castle was not widely recognized. However, the estate has since achieved global fame as the primary filming location for the immensely popular period drama Downton Abbey.
The series, which chronicled the lives of the fictional Crawley family and their staff, premiered in 2010 and garnered a massive international following. Its success led to multiple film sequels and inspired fans to visit Highclere Castle, which dates back to 1679.
Highclere Castle, set on 5,000 acres, was remarkably the very first location scouted for the show, ultimately chosen for its perfect depiction of the Crawley family's stately home.
