Michelle portrayed Lady Mary Crawley in hit period drama while Laura took on the role of her younger sister Lady Edith throughout the six series and two spin-off films.
Others in attendance included the likes of Keeley Hawes and Matthew Macfadyen as well as Jessica Raine and Tom Goodman-Hill. Their joint sighting comes days after their on-screen father Hugh Bonneville enjoyed another Downton Abbey reunion when he watched Jessica Brown Findlay in a special performance on An Enemy Of The People.

There's no denying that Michelle and Laura share a close bond, with the latter taking on the role of Michelle's bridesmaid at her wedding to Jasper Waller-Bridge in September. Laura has previously opened up about her close bond relationship with Michelle and their fellow co-stars.

Michelle also told MailOnline about how they developed an "instant sisterhood" during filming. "Laura and I are both from a family of three sisters," the actress revealed. "She’s the middle and I'm the youngest, so there was kind of an instant sisterhood when we first met."
She added: "We've grown up together in a way. I mean it's been six years. I was 27 when I started the show, and we bonded very, very quickly. and also Laura and I have a lot of fun with the characters.
"I mean we are elated when we read a page and it’s a stand-off between Mary and Edith – it's more fun for us to play… We've always got a bit bored when they’re nice to each other."
