Downton Abbey's hotly-anticipated feature film has begun shooting, with Michelle Dockery revealing a first look from the set of the period drama last week.
And the first images of the set were unveiled on Wednesday, as the cast and crew returned to the world famous Highclere Castle in Berkshire.
Decked out with trailers and trucks for the actors, as well as a stable courtyard and tennis court ready for use, it is clear that filming is well and truly underway.

The Jacobethan country house has been the home of the show since its inception in 2010, and the building looked resplendent against the luscious backdrop.
Studio lights had been placed outside of the entrance, and were on, suggesting that exterior scenes had already been filmed on set.
Meanwhile, a large catering marquee has also been provided for the cast and crew to use throughout the day during their busy shooting schedule.

Filming began earlier this month, and Michelle took to her Instagram to share a snapshot from behind the scenes of the movie.
The actress, 36, is reprising her role as Lady Mary Crawley, and the film will continue where the hugely-popular ITV show left off when it wrapped in December 2015.
She was clearly excited to be back, as, alongside the image of a clapperboard on set, Michelle wrote: 'And... we're off'

The plot for the new film is being kept under wraps, but it has been confirmed that Michelle will be joined by original co-stars Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, and Laura Carmichael.
Matthew Goode, who plays Lady Mary's husband Henry Talbot, has also revealed that he will have a role in the film, albeit a short one as he said he's just 'popping in' due to conflicting work commitments.
Imelda Staunton, Geraldine James, Simon Jones, and Stephen Campbell Moore are among the new additions to the cast.
Michelle was not the only cast member to express their joy at being back, as Joanne Froggatt also shared a picture of her trailer, which had her character's name on it.

Allen, who reprises his role as Tom Branson in the film, wrote: 'Quick catch up after 9 holes of golf....... after rehearsals, rehearsals and scene study!'

Joanne Froggatt wrote on her Twitter page: 'Delighted to announce we’re getting the band back together! #DowntonMovie #DowntonAbbey.'
Downton Abbey's Twitter also posted: 'Welcome back to Downton! We’re thrilled to announce that #DowntonAbbey is coming to the big screen. Film production begins this summer.'
Michelle also wrote on Instagram: 'The secret’s out… Thrilled to announce that Downton Abbey is coming to the big screen.'
Downton Abbey followed the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who worked for them at the turn of the 20th Century in an Edwardian English country home.
According to Vanity Fair, the movie script has been written by show creator Julian Fellowes Focus and Universal Pictures International are distributing.

Brian Percival, who has directed several episodes of Downton, including the pilot, will helm the film, but there are no plot details known as of yet.
The film’s producer Gareth Neame said in a statement: 'When the television series drew to a close it was our dream to bring the millions of global fans a movie and now, after getting many stars aligned, we are shortly to go into production.
'Julian’s script charms, thrills and entertains and in Brian Percival’s hands we aim to deliver everything that one would hope for as Downton comes to the big screen'.
The final episode of Downton aired on December 25, 2015 on ITV.
The show is the most nominated non-U.S. television show in the history of the Emmys, with 15 under their belt.
They earned a trio of Golden Globe Awards and a Special BAFTA award.
Joanne had previously said: 'Selfishly, it would be great to get together for ten weeks and have a little reunion,' Froggatt said. 'I think we’d all like to do it.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
