Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern will present the show’s creator Julian Fellowes with his International Emmy award.
The 54-year-old actress, who played Countess of Grantham Lady Cora Crawley on the hit ITV period drama, will be joined by the programme’s producer Gareth Neame as they hand over the 2015 International Emmy Founders prize to Julian.
Over eight million fans tuned in for the finale of Downton Abbey, which made its debut on British screens in September 2010, last Sunday.

The rest of the British nominees include Jimmy McGovern’s BBC One drama Common, Sky documentary 50 Ways To Kill Your Mammy, Channel 4 drama My Mad Fat Diary, BBC Three documentary Growing Up Down’s and BBC Two documentary Messiah At The Foundling Hospital.
